Duties and responsibilities: The most important responsibility for an emergency nurse is understanding triage, which is a method of prioritizing injuries based on medical need. An emergency nurse must have the ability to make quick and accurate assessments about incoming patients, including both physical and mental health conditions.

Salary: $80,000-$128,000

Education: To become a trauma nurse, a person must earn an associate degree in nursing, a bachelor’s of science degree in nursing or a diploma from a hospital with a nursing program.

Reflection: I would want to be a trauma nurse because you help patients keep their lives and help them outcome something bad in their lives.
