In 2008, Janet B. Quilloy began working as part of the Beth Israel medical team. This required her to work alongside physicians, health care professionals and, of course, other nurses to care, monitor health conditions, plan long-term care needs, administer medicines, performing minor medical operations, and advising patients and families on the exact nature of the illness, the care required, and the necessary treatments to be taken after the stay at the hospital had ended. Furthermore, she demonstrated a keen ability to quickly assess the needs of each patient, proritize appropriate forms of care based on its critical nature, and works to stabilize the patient, treat the patient appropriately, and decide whether to discharge the patient or make the arrangements for a longer stay at the hospital. Janet Quilloy also works as a Triage Nurse, where she is highly-regarded as being able to make quick and accurate assessments about incoming patients, including both their physical and mental health conditions, and prioritize patients according to the extent of their injuries or other medical needs.
And this is crucial. For patients undergoing medical emergencies the need for rapid decision-making and quick action on the part of the medical professionals attending to them quite literally means the difference between life and death. An emergency nurse means being given the responsibility to work as part of a medical team dedicated to assisting patients facing traumatic injuries and acute illnesses. The ER nurse, like other emergency health professionals, are required to work in extremely quick-paced and stressful situations. However, as Janet Quilloy affirms, almost every nursing professional she has worked alongside will willingly agree that despite the enormous responsibilities and weight of expectations given to them, these nurses strongly believe that they have the rewarding careers in the nursing profession.
As Janet Quilloy explains, emergency nurses are known by several names, including trauma nurses and critical care nurses. Working with other emergency medical professionals such as paramedics and physicians, emergency nurses provide vital treatment for patients in emergency medical situations. Indeed, as Janet Quilloy reveals, on any given shift, on any given day, she and her team will often be confronted with a diverse range of medical emergencies. These emergencies could well include complicated and rare illnesses, as well as injuries from accidents and, frequently and increasingly, crime. To give some examples, the emergency nurse could be called upon to deal with poisonings, car accidents, critically high fevers, drug overdoses, gun shot wounds and stabbings, cardiac arrests, and strokes - and this is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
Additionally, as Janet B. Quilloy points out, any trauma nurse is likely to treat a very wide social and ethnic demographic.One minute they will be required to minister to an infant, the next to an elderly patient.Working as a critical care nurse always requires strong nerves and an emotional unflappability. The nurse is required to work extraordinarily long hours in an environment where the risk of physical danger is high - largely due to the diversity of pathogens and patients. Yet, as Janet B. Quilloy affirms, for the dedicated emergency nurse, there is no other field in which they would choose another position or career.
