    This document compares and contrasts the careers of an EMT and ER nurse. Both careers involve providing medical care and assistance to patients, documenting information, and using technology. They require skills in clear communication, problem solving, and working well under pressure. While EMTs focus more on emergency response and transport, ER nurses monitor vital signs, administer medications, and prepare patients for doctors in the hospital setting. Both careers involve high levels of human interaction and dealing with unruly patients. Licenses or certifications are required after completing EMT courses or nursing school. While EMT salaries start around $35,000 annually, ER nursing pays approximately $80,000. Both fields have very good employment outlooks.
