Essay / Research Paper Abstract
As an ER nurse, it is easy to get caught up in the fast pace of the environment, to focus on the technical and critical nature of nursing in the ER and to forget that patients are people with hopes and fears and dreams rather than just people exhibiting illnesses and crying out in pain for immediate release. It is even easier in a rush to forget that these patients have families that care deeply for the welfare of their loved ones in need of urgent medical care and what that implies. For this reason, I sometimes repeat the hospital mission to myself like a mantra to help bring me out of my single-minded focus on the medical well-being of patients and be open to dealing with their immediate emotional well-being as well, as required by the necessity for providing comfort as well. 5 references. jvERexpe.rtf

and teaching good health." Out of this statement, I place the last statement "teaching good health" in the arena of the health framework of ER nursing responsibilities. Education is a
charted component of my daily patient interaction. However, to remind myself of the other responsibilities during busy periods, I often pull out
the phrases "healing and caring for patients," and "comforting their families" to remind myself that I have duties other than assisting in an EEG, reporting status changes to staff, taking
vitals or updating patient charts. Healing has been defined in many ways, particularly in the last decade when healing has been viewed
