title: 'Treat patients like family'.
abstract: Why did you become an emergency nurse? I used to work as a healthcare assistant and did bank shifts in the emergency department (ED). While there, I was drawn to the unpredictable nature of the work, the challenge of delivering high-quality care in a chaotic environment. No matter what your role is, you are an important component of the emergency team. The resourcefulness of the nursing staff impressed me and I thought 'I want to do that'.
