As any nurse knows, the ER can be a stressful and hectic place to work. Dealing with emergency situations on a regular basis can take a toll on healthcare workers, and nurses are on the frontlines of critical care. To help beat the stress and stay focused on the job, it’s important to be aware of the signs of stress and anxiety.
Knowing what to look for can be the key to preventing long term issues. A supportive team is also important. Take the time to talk with coworkers and deal with your emotions. Don’t hide from the stress, but rather confront it and try to work through it as a team.
