Research for Paper on the Role of an Emergency Nurse

[thenursingapprentice]

Greetings,

I'm new to the site and new to nursing. I am currently in my 5th week of an accelerated nursing program in Massachusetts and was looking for some assistance with an upcoming assignment. I have to write a paper about the role of the emergency nurse and I can use an interview as a single reference. I was hoping that the community here might be able to assist me.

Thanks in advance,

Rhiannon

Here are the questions:

Who is this nurse? (This would be any personal details, to give the big picture - ex: children, hobbies, location, age)

What setting(s) does this nurse practice in?

What services does she/he provide to the patient?

What does the nurse say about his/her scope of practice?

Does the nurse utilize or refer to a particular nursing theory? If so, which one?

Does the nurse participate in research activities? Which ones?

Does the nurse use evidence as a basis for his/her practice? How?

Educational Preparation/necessary certifications/. Is the nurse certified?

How does the nurse maintain licensure and competency?

How are CEU's obtained?

--> Scope of Responsibility

What are his/her job duties?

Who might he/she supervise?

What other health professionals does this person interact with daily?

Does the nurse believe that she has the time necessary to provide the quality of care she desires to provide?

--> Patient care tasks performed

What aspects of patient care does this nurse perform herself?

What aspects of care are delegated? To whom?

How does the nurse feel about delegation?

I messaged you my email if you'd like me to email you responses to your questions :)

Thank you for your offer. Apparently as a new member, email is somewhat restricted on the site...

You can still receive private message (PMs), but cannot respond to them until you have 15 posts. You should be able to receive/read a PM from livistarr with her email address.

LunahRN,

I feel a bit foolish but I am having trouble checking my PMs. I watched the tutorial but there is no envelope by my name (also, my login name is not at the top of the window but in the yellow bar) and there is no drop-down option under my account.

Thanks!

Try going to https://allnurses.com/private.php when you're logged in, and let me know if that works for you.

Though, I still haven't received Livistarr's message.
