While many emergency nursing skills are taught in a classroom, other ER nursing skills
can only be developed in the emergency room while on the clock. Being an ER nurse
takes an incredible amount of skills and training, as it’s a fast-paced, high-stress
environment.
While schooling helps in the development of skills, some emergency room nursing skills
come only with experience.
Below are five emergency nursing skills you can only learn on the job.

5 EMERGENCY NURSING SKILLS YOU’LL LEARN ON THE JOB


1. Ability to Remain Calm
Performing emergency nursing skills in a controlled, classroom environment is entirely
different from the reality of using those ER nursing skills in the emergency room.
Perhaps there are moments of peace, but for many emergency rooms, loud noises, strong
smells, and high tensions abound.
Learning to remain calm and continue to perform your emergency nursing skills despite
the surrounding chaos is a skill you must, and can, master with time.
2. Setting Aside Personal Feelings
In the nursing profession, it is almost inevitable that situations will arise that are
emotionally taxing. For example, if your patient is a small child who has injuries as result
of abuse. In these situations, it is vital that you continue to perform your emergency
nursing duties. Most importantly, provide whatever medical care the patient requires.
You cannot learn how to keep your cool and administer to the patient’s immediate needs
unless you’re involved in real-life situations.
No classroom scenario can teach you how to keep your personal feelings from interfering
with your performance.
3. Being Assertive
Emergency nursing skills encompass more than just administering IVs or finishing your
charting quickly. While practical ER nursing skills are essential, learning when and how
to speak up is imperative to your role as an emergency nurse.
Oftentimes, you will be the only advocate that your patient has. Therefore, learning how
to voice concerns and ideas, especially to other professionals, takes time. But remember:
being assertive is not the same as being aggressive.
4. Time Management
After your first shift as an ER nurse, you will probably feel overwhelmed. The role of a
nurse involves more than just placing a bandage or administering medication.
Emergency room nursing skills require the use of time management. Nurses are now
taking a much more prominent role in the initial and ongoing duty of patient
assessment.
In addition to assessments, patient education, inter-agency communications, and patient
care all demand an ER nurse’s attention.
5. Personal Coping Methods
As you perform a variety of emergency nursing skills, you will encounter people who are
in terrible situations.
Every shift requires you to deliver the best patient care you can. For the sake of your
future patients, you will learn how to handle the difficult things you see and experience.
To deliver effective emergency room nursing skills, you will develop ways to process all
the hard things you have seen, heard, and done, all to maintain your wellbeing.
Working in an ER setting and providing emergency nursing skills is a tough and
sometimes grueling venture. However, watching your patient walk out the door because
you delivered the best care possible makes it all worthwhile.
Even on the days you feel tired or defeated, your training and experience will kick in and
allow you to deliver the emergency nursing skills required to change lives.
