Emergency department nurses are registered nurses who provide immediate assessment and care to people experiencing a potentially life-threatening crisis. There were 139 million emergency department visits reported to the Centers for Disease Control in 2017, and this number rises each year. The demanding, unpredictable nature of emergency room nursing requires strong triage/prioritization skills, attention to detail, and swift decision making. Physical and mental demands are much higher in the ER than in the general hospital.

Some healthcare employers may prefer emergency department nurse job candidates with Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), Trauma Nursing Core Course (TNCC), Certified Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner-Adult/Adolescent (SANE-A), Certified Emergency Nurse (CEN), Emergency Communications Registered Nurse (ECRN), Advanced Disaster Life Support (ADLS), Domestic violence nurse examiner (DVNE) or Covid-19 Certification (Covid-19 Certification), and some may even require specific professional certifications.

Having a Advanced Disaster Life Support (ADLS) validates your knowledge and skills as a emergency department nurse and your dedication to continuing your education in your chosen field. All of which makes you a more desirable job candidate to healthcare employers.
