A&E plays a pivotal role within the NHS, being on hand 24 hours a day to provide emergency care to those most in need. This demanding and intense environment also gives our specialised nurses a huge sense of accomplishment and reward.
As an A&E Nurse, no two days are the same. You could be carrying out an initial patient examination to assess the patient’s needs, fixing dressings and administering medication for pain relief, deciding to admit patients into hospital if needed, making detailed notes and keeping in close contact with laboratory staff to pass results onto A&E Doctors.
Therefore, effective communication with your paramedics and other clinical staff is vital.
