Thanks, ER nurses.

[perfectbluebuildings, BSN, RN]

Just want to thank ER nurses (and other ER people) for the hard work you do every day. I had to go down there during a busy time last night b/c got hurt at work, and though it was loud and crazy, multiple people coming in, very busy; everyone there was patient, calm, professional no matter what. I really appreciated it. I know that you deal with a lot of complainers & "unsatisfied customers" (I saw many of them last night as they had me in a section of the waiting room pretty close to the intake desk) and that you have a thankless job in many ways, and just wanted to let you know you ARE appreciated.

(even though it was kind of whirlwind and I didn't get to thank everyone that helped me at the time. I did thank the doctor as I was leaving but kind of felt silly as she was at the desk and probably was busy with a lot sicker patients, but didn't think about that till later. I do plan to write a letter or something when I feel better to thank people.)

:loveya:You're welcome......It's a tough place at times. Please heal and be well. Share this with your floor when it seems the ED is dumping again.

I hope you feel better soon. Your "thanks" is very much appreciated to the people who helped you, believe me, it's really nice to hear it from time to time.

I know the people you mention in your letter will be grateful that someone took the time to write about the positive care they received. I saved a copy of letter someone sent to my director a few years ago. It meant a lot to me.
