About ElizabethStoneRN

ElizabethStoneRN specializes in Pediatric Emergency & Nurse Education.

Hello! I'm a staff nurse in my state's first pediatric emergency department, and also work as a clinical instructor for a BSN program. While "little people" are the patients whom I most love caring for, I also enjoy caring for the grown ups with my nursing students! In addition, I love to write professionally, especially when I have the opportunity to teach others by telling real stories from my nursing practice. My clinical expertise is in pediatric triage and assessment. I also am very involved with my professional organization, the Emergency Nurses Organization.
