Hey, idk how interesting this is, as I've never particularly seen it as such, but I'm open to answering questions about it if anyone is curious. I started about a year ago after my house was destroyed in a hurricane and I moved halfway across the country into a blizzard at the time, lol. That might be the more interesting part. Anyway, ask me anything!
(I won't give medical advice, so don't ask that actually)

You mean you’re an emergency nurse? One of those that see arrive the worst things?
I won’t ask what is the worst thing ever arrived, let somebody else do that, neither ‘is it really like in those TV series, like ER or alike’.
No..
Please tell me, where do you find the force to continue?
Everyone is aware of the amount of work for all the nurses around the globe, and I’m always impressed by those who continue, no matter what happens, if it is a hurricane or a blizzard.
And thousand thanks to be there!!!

Actually, ‘The Pitt’ is one of the most accurate portrayals of the er shift that I’ve seen. A lot of medical professionals feel the same way. But, yeah, otherwise they’re all notoriously poor.
As for the strength to continue, I think that’s more individual. Personally, I have amazing capabilities of compartmentalization.
I also love my job, for the most part. Yes, difficult situations are inevitable, but I never think that way going in. I always expect to have a great day, and I usually do. I feel like I make a difference, which is important to me. When difficult situations do arise, I always have a team of people who are going through the same thing, so they’re good to talk to.

So far, do you have any outstanding heartwarming or "faith in humanity restored" moments?
The most heartwarming thing for me is when I hear about a young kid coming back fully healed and wanting to thank the people that cared for them. This is usually in regards to something like a broken arm, but it hits even harder if it was something more serious.
Even if it’s ultimately the parents encouraging their kids to do it, it’s still nice to know how much of an impact your work makes.

Very cool, hope to be one, currently rounding up my RN with a final placement in the ER, ran my first code and the works. Love ER nursing, feels very direct, very high stakes and very impactful and a lot of learning too, aspiring to go into trauma eventually and branch out into either flight nursing or practitioner from there.
We’re on a very similar path! I’m on track to get my MSN next year. Practitioner is my end goal. I believe in you!
Most and absolute respect to both of you!!!
Thanks, there is no word qualifying the gratitude everyone should have towards engaged health care people.
But even if I’m late for the AMA week, what makes you a practitioner?
In my country the term practitioner has a whole different meaning, but in the US it’s an official term.
Here every person ‘practicing’ medical intervention (this even includes distributing medication) needs a ‘permit to exercise’ delivered by ministry of health. If it is caregiver, nurse or doctor and you need an equivalent diploma/degree. You can ask permit as soon as you have succeeded your degree, even if you do internship.
I can’t say what means MSN or RN.

So MSN is just a degree. A RN is a registered nurse (what I am currently) and a practitioner is like a specialized RN. Essentially it requires more education and passing another exam, giving them more responsibilities, such as prescribing medications.
Hopefully that answers your question.

Yes thank you.
I have been searching meanwhile and it’s very different from here, you can have a doctor title as nurse. This is not possible here, in nursing you can reach a bachelor, afterwards it’s a Master degree in Medecine and Doctor in Medecine. A nurse here will never be allowed to prescribe medication, only MD.
Thank you very much
