Have you ever wondered what it's like to be an ER
Nurse? Dealing with the public during the worst
moments of their lives is an everyday occurrence.
There are wonderful, magical moments, but
they are few and far between. You quickly learn
common sense is not so common. Most people
have no concept of what is or isn't an emergency.
We approach this job with our own set of life skills
plus what we've learned in college. On our fi rst day
in the ER, we realize we must have slept through
the lecture on Emergency Nursing. With luck you're
following an experienced nurse. You realize you
have none of these skills. Your preceptor smiles
letting you know it will be ok. See one, do one,
teach one, you're told with a smile. That's when
you wonder, what have I gotten myself into. The
ER, or Gar Gole, as it's aff ectionately called, is the
'red-headed stepchild of the hospital. The Staff ,
Physicians, Nurses, Techs and First Responders
have a symbiotic working relationship. We all have
the same goal, providing those in our charge with
the best outcome possible. The rollercoaster of
emotions in the Gar Hole from Patients, Family,
and Staff are delt with by each of us, in our own
way. We learn to meld our work life along with our
home life, it's a much-needed tool of survival. Our
personal goal is to go home at the end of our shift
to our safe haven, our home and family.
