emergency nursing

Urgent medical attention

Emergency nursing is the specialty focused on caring for patients with acute, life-threatening, or urgent medical conditions—trauma, heart attacks, strokes, severe infections.

Emergency nurses work in hospital emergency departments, triaging patients by severity, stabilizing critical cases, and managing the unpredictable flow of crises: She's been in emergency nursing for fifteen years.
