A trauma nurse is often someone you would find in the emergency room. These nurses specialize in working with patients who may not know the cause of their illness or injury; in other words, with patients in need of urgent care.
What do they do?
Trauma nurses work in a fast paced environment in which they may be required to perform surgical procedures, or just have experience in critical care situations. Many patients in the trauma center require constant supervision; whether it be persistently monitoring their vitals, giving constant ventilation, changing/exchanging IVs as necessary, cardiac monitoring, and many other aspects of maintaining stability in patients. These tasks are mainly done by the trauma nurse.
Who makes a good trauma nurses?
A good trauma nurse is someone who can manage stressful situations quickly and efficiently. Working in the trauma center is a job that demands patience and understanding due to a multitude of conflicts including: language barriers, grieving of the family and friends, high pressure environment, and the duty to remain calm and focused in such a chaotic environment. To be a quality trauma nurse, one needs to be able to manage stressful situations as organized as possible to ensure the doctors, surgeons, patients, and families that everything is under control.
Why do I want to become a trauma nurse?
Not to sound like a common medical student, but I absolutely love Grey's Anatomy. The thrill of the situations encountered in the show motivate me to hopefully one day work in the ER. Now I know it is just a show, however that does not mean life is not that exciting outside Hollywood! The main reason I would like to become a trauma nurse is to have the opportunity to expose myself to the tragedies that occur everyday and be able to help those in need. I would love to save lives so that families do not have to grieve over losing a loved one in an accident and I believe the trauma center can use all the helping hands it can get!

This was very interesting for me to read. I didn't know that the nurses who worked in the ER had a specific name, but the title of trauma nurse makes a lot of sense now. I think it is incredible that you want to work in this field because I would never have the guts to do it. I would love to learn more about trauma nurses and what they have to go through on a daily basis.
