Recent tragedies have highlighted the importance of emergency nurses, and Nurse Leader Insider would like to thank emergency nurses everywhere for their tireless lifesaving work, and encourages them to take care of themselves this week.
Karen Wiley MSN, RN, CEN, the president of the Emergency Nurses Association, shared the following statement in recognition of Emergency Nurses Week:
“I am most proud of the way our nurses have come together in the past several weeks. With the devastation from multiple hurricanes and the unconscionable event in Las Vegas, we have seen countless acts of sacrifice, selflessness, and dedication in emergency care from our nurses. I am proud of my colleagues every day, but the effort I have seen through these tragedies is truly remarkable.”
Emergency nursing is an incredibly challenging role that relies on flexibility and quick decision-making, leading to increased rates of burnout and emotional challenges. Here are some resources that can help emergency nurses avoid burnout and thrive in their practice:
Educating staff about compassion fatigue
How evidence-based practice can improve nurse satisfaction
How nurse executives can help tired nurses
Connecting words to spark critical thinking in the ED
