It’s #EmergencyNursesWeek, so let’s hear it for the Swiss Army Knifes of Nursing, who can transition from Cardiac to Neuro to Ortho without blinking, then sprinkle in a little Geriatrics in between.pic.twitter.com/ANkC5h3mdq
Click their heels together and become an interim Social Worker (while thanking whatever gods that may be that they aren’t actually one), a mother, a hairdresser, a therapist, and a friend… because if there’s anywhere in the world where shit gets real, it’s the ER.pic.twitter.com/b4CnJT8F7J
In a pinch they can provide one heck of a haircut with Trauma Shears alone, knows the art of a highly effective Nix treatment, and drags in the clothing donations of everyone they know, because the value of sending someone home clean and well dressed is immeasurable.pic.twitter.com/uzKF78rt5t
But most importantly, they are the ones who’s nursing spidey senses are so well tuned, they can pick up cues from a potentially deadly condition from a single set of vital signs and a 5 minute triage conversation.pic.twitter.com/IB3Wfn3oLs
They can read EKG’s, interpret labs, and anticipate treatment courses in their sleep. They are the out of box thinkers, the master of MacGyver, the Public health and the Critical Care Nurse all rolled into one.pic.twitter.com/WMaYUmH77v
I may be currently redeployed to ICU, but my heart belongs to Emergency, and my colleagues are some of the best humans to walk this planet. It’s a thankless job, but those who love it, love it, and those who know, are friends for life.pic.twitter.com/hiEok46sfi

While I still hope I never need your services, “Thank you” for what you do.
