A Triage Nurse assesses and prioritises patients as they arrive at a hospital or emergency department. You might work in emergency rooms, urgent care centres, or other healthcare facilities. Triage Nurses quickly evaluate patients’ symptoms, vital signs, and medical history to determine the urgency of their condition and the appropriate level of care. You’ll make critical decisions under pressure to ensure patients receive timely and appropriate treatment.
Triage Nurses play a crucial role in managing patient flow and ensuring that those in need of immediate care are treated promptly. You’ll need to be calm, decisive, and able to communicate effectively with patients and families during stressful situations. You’ll also collaborate with doctors and other healthcare professionals to provide optimal care.
