Responsibilities Emergency room nurses are responsible for assessing a patient\'s injuries or condition upon arrival. A successful emergency room nurse must have excellent attention to detail and verbal communication skills.

The ER nurse assists in implementing treatment plans, explaining prescription information, administering IVs, medications, and injections, and conducting EKGs and other triage elements. Emergency room nurses must understand hospital discharge policies, as well as government policies on treating, transferring, and discharging patients from the hospital.
