What it’s really like
- Triage is a skill nobody else in the hospital has: sickest first, everything else waits.
- The pace resets constantly — a quiet hour means nothing about the next one.
- You'll see everything: chest pain, trauma, psych crises, and a lot of things that belonged in urgent care.
- Boarding and hallway beds are the downside almost everywhere right now.
ER nurses triage and stabilize whatever comes through the doors, from chest pain to trauma. Employers typically look for BLS, ACLS, and PALS, and many fast-track experienced ED nurses into charge and flight roles.
How you get in
BLS, ACLS, and PALS are the standard asks; TNCC and CEN follow once you're in. Plenty of EDs hire motivated med surg and new-grad nurses into fellowship programs.
ED demand is broad and constant across the feed, and experienced ED nurses fast-track into charge, flight, and travel lanes.
