A subfield of professional nursing called emergency nursing is dedicated to the treatment of patients who need immediate medical intervention to prevent permanent damage or death. Along with dealing with "real emergencies," emergency nurses are increasingly caring for patients who visit emergency rooms for assistance but are unable or unwilling to receive primary medical care elsewhere. In reality, only a small portion of people who visit the emergency room (ED) are suffering from serious injuries like heart attacks, strokes, or acute head trauma. Additionally, emergency room nurses care for patients who are suffering from acute drug and/or alcohol intoxication, behavioural and psychological issues, and rape. However, they may also work in urgent care facilities and athletic venues. Emergency nurse employment is most common in hospital emergency rooms.
