Special: The Night Shift Nurse and the In-Flight Emergency

A proud night shift nurse with 25 years of experience, Marci Ducret has seen almost everything - that is until she stepped up to help an ailing passenger on Ducret's cross-country journey from New Hampshire to San Diego for the 2023 ENA General Assembly. Just in time for Emergency Nurses Week, hear Ducret's tale of providing care midflight as the only health care worker on board. Tune in wherever you listen to podcasts.

"Organizational sponge" - a very apt analogy. Just because we can do it all doesn't mean we should be expected to do it all.

I Just Want To Be A Nurse, Not The "Organizational Sponge" For Everyone Else | Opinion Nurses are challenged with many responsibilities both at the bedside and during their shifts. We explore how healthcare organizations can lessen the responsibilities to allow nurses to just be nurses again.

I can attest to this!

For Nurses and aspiring ones...

Opinion | What We All Really Want to Tell Our ER Patients My thoughts on controlling the chaos

ENA wants to be sure you know which days to set aside for the biggest conference of the year.

Emergency Nursing 2023 is scheduled for Sept. 21-23 at the San Diego Convention Center. These dates are different than what ENA previously announced and promoted. This revised schedule doesn’t include Sept. 24.

The date change reflects valued member feedback and additional factors with the goal of maximizing experience with high-quality programming. This change does not decrease the number of CNE contact hours or the Experience Hall hours.

The now infamous but not very helpful N95 trial (Loeb 2022) - First10EM A critical appraisal of the N95 RCT Loeb 2022. Short answer- this trial had too many flaws to allow us to draw valid conclusions.

Happy Emergency Nurses Week! In case you missed it, Kathy Van Dusen and I authored a blog and a Nursing2022 editorial in honor of emergency nurses everywhere. You can find them (free of charge) at:

Important information about it predicting violence in healthcare. Even if you don’t formally use the tool, the indicators are easy to remember. Add this to your spidey senses and stay safe!

Multisite study of Aggressive Behavior Risk Assessment Tool in emergency departments - PubMed The ABRAT for EDs appears to be a simple yet comprehensive checklist with a high sensitivity and specificity for identifying potentially violent patients in EDs. The availability of such a screening checklist in the EHR may allow rapid identification of high-risk patients and implementation of focus...
