“A&E is like no other department, the mix of staff from all different levels is a comfort as you always have a full team to help in all situations. As for the daily duties, it’s like a box of chocolates as you just don’t know what you’re going to get.” RGN - A&E
Are you a quick-thinking and methodical Registered General Nurse (RGN) with recent NHS experience? Can you keep a cool head in a high-pressured environment? Then an RGN role in Accident and Emergency (A&E) may be just what you are looking for.
A&E nurses are often the first point of contact for patients needing emergency treatments as they enter a hospital setting. Working triage, you will encounter a range of conditions in patients that are in a highly critical state. You’ll assess them by taking vital signs, and talking to them about what has happened, before directing them to the correct place to get the right treatment. Your calm, reassuring nature will help ensure patients feel safe in your hands.
With a high number of patients coming through the doors, a good A&E nurse is able to jump into any given situation and make a quick clinical judgement, which could mean the difference between life and death.
The Royal Preston Hospital, managed by Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, is part of the Major Trauma Network, responsible for the care of severely injured patients. The A&E team works collaboratively with agency nurses to deliver the best possible patient care. As a member of the A&E team, you will have access to a wide range of development and learning opportunities to help you progress in the field of A&E nursing.
“I love working at Preston A&E. There’s a real buzz within the department and ALL agency staff are looked upon for having their own useful skill mix. I have found the staff to be wonderful and supportive. Working in a huge trauma centre is an added bonus as my learning is enhanced by the complexity of different traumas.” RGN - A&E
