ER Nurses Care

As a ER nurse for many years I blog about things I am passionate about, education about injury prevention is my deepest passion. The needless deaths from uneducated victims and unaware bystanders that I have personally witnessed in my career are near to my heart and will always be remembered deep in my soul, especially the children who depended on parents to protect them. I care for patients as I

would my own family and would expect care for myself, thinking positively gets me thru each day and an odd sense of humor keeps me sane. Nursing is a profession that is my mission field, I feel lead from above to do my job and to teach others what I know, even the stupid mistakes I have made along the way (boy are there a few of those). Emergency nursing has been my calling for some odd reason, working well under pressure and remaining calm in the chaos of it all is imperative. Er Nurses tend to be the worst to "eat their young" and the lateral violence that occurs from one nurse to another in the Emergency Department is saddening, that is another reason my nursing blog is called ER Nurses Care, some of us still do! As a victim of lateral violence in the workplace myself, I strive now to educate others about taking care of each other and standing up for what is right! It took many years for me to wake up and move forward with my life and career, but I am on the right track now.

If you have never zipped up body bags on a shift, you shouldn’t be deciding how much nurses make.

If you have never watched a person suffocate to death from their own blood or sputum, you shouldn’t be deciding how much nurses make.

If you have never been punched and kicked for trying to assess your patient, you shouldn’t be deciding how much nurses make.

If you have never had someone beg you to not let them die, or to let them die, you shouldn’t be deciding how much nurses make.

If you've never had to look into a loved ones eyes or hold them while they crumble when you tell them of the death of their child, mother, father, sister, aunt, gran, papa... you shouldn't be deciding how much nurses make.

If you have never told your family your shift was “fine” to spare them from what you saw that day, you shouldn’t be deciding how much nurses make.

If you’ve never felt ribs breaking from doing CPR on someone’s family member, you shouldn’t be deciding how much nurses make.

If you’ve never had 1200 students plus staff to care for all on your own, then you shouldn’t be deciding how much nurses make.

For years nurses have been underpaid and undervalued and no one seemed to care.

Now that healthcare is on the brink of a collapse, everyone is concerned.

Nurses are leaving the profession at rapid rates.

Perhaps it’s from the years of getting 0-1% raises and barely being able to pay bills. Maybe it’s because nurses are asked to do more and more with less. Maybe it’s from the terrible staffing ratios. The reasons are honestly endless.

Let’s start caring about nurse retention, nurse training, fair wages, safe staffing, etc.

Let’s not get to the point where you need a nurse and there isn’t one to spare.🙏🙏🙏

Copied because I am a nurse.💙 Definitely the toughest but most rewarding job ever.
