About Me

I am an ER nurse, new to nursing, and new to the ER. I am terrified, exhilarated, and I LOVE my job. I have created this space to share and archive the lessons that I am learning, to blog about my day to day experiences, and to provoke discussions and dialogue with other ER nurses and healthcare professionals, and the general public on all things related to nursing, health and healthcare.

A couple of weeks ago I lost my first patients. Since I started working as an ER nurse I have seen patients die, and been part of that event, as in the case of The Vigil, but this was the first time that the patients I lost my were my own.
