Sam B. - ER RN, BSN (Emergency Room Registered Nurse, Bachelor of Nursing)
When chatting with Sam it reminded me how much I missed the ER. She gave us a wonderful perspective on how it is to work in the ER and what traits would make an ideal ER RN. We discussed the various routes to become a nurse and she shared her personal pros and cons with us about nursing in the emergency setting.
Thank you Sam!
