My greatest passion: Emergency Nursing
October 29th, 2008 | by nursing |
PLEASE COMMENT AND VOTE THIS VIDEO!! YOUR OPINION IS WELCOME!! This is a vid I made in honor to emergency nurses, intensive care nurses, Nurses of HEMS (Helicopter Emergency Medical Service), ALS nurses, trauma team nurses.
In Italy, to become ER nurse there’re some steps to follow in this order (it can’t change):
1. Degree in Nursing
2. At least 3 years in emergency room, resuscitation, intensive care. This allow you to enter in the follow step. You also need a very good mark in degree (at least 26/30 points). These to factors allow you to attend…the next point.
3. First Level Master in Critical Care Nursing. This is a 8 months course, with final exam that is written and practice.
If you want to serve as nurse out of hospital, like on heliambulance (MedEvac, FlightCare, LifeFlight and so on) or on medical car (witch is a unit that carry an emergency phisician and a ER nurse on most critical accidents scenes, in help of ambulance’s crew)…if you want to be a part of helicopter or medical car…you’ve to attend another course of 180 hours that teach you how use instruments of extrahospital emergency care (KED, Lifepak 500 because Lifepak 12 is a part of Master’s studies…and so on.).

Thanks for the motivation! I’m a FF/EMT taking prerequisites for RN program this Spring… Looking to become an ER/flight nurse eventually. Little things like this clip help keep me facing the right direction and my nose in the books. Thanks and I’m looking forward to seeing some of you out there someday!

I’ve been doing ER nursing for almost 5 years now and yes ER nurses burn out. However, I’m a travel nurse and I love my job and have found that by switching locations it’s much easier to keep going!

Innanzitutto riguarda il profilo milanese. Altre regioni non so. in risposta alla tua domanda, sono informazioni che ho raccolto e messo insieme (verificandole) da molti infermieri di area critica (dire infermiere di emergenza non รจ molto corretto).

Hi - I am in the final semester of nursing school and am working on a med surg floor in a teaching hospital with a preceptor that does everything her way and prompts her students all the time. I am ready to pull my hair out! How do I get into ER nursing out of school? Thanks.
