27d • 👨🚒 First Responders
Emergency Room Nurses
Today I want to shine a light on the ones we often forget when we talk about first responder mental health: the emergency room nurses.
You want to talk about pressure?
These men and women walk into chaos every shift. Not once in a while, every single shift.
They’re the ones who see the fear in a patient’s eyes before the doctors arrive.
They’re the ones who hold a hand while a family gets the worst news of their lives.
They’re the ones who get yelled at, grabbed, spit on, and still manage to stay compassionate.
And somehow… they keep showing up.
I met two ER nurses today absolute warriors behind the smiles. They treated every patient with respect and made them feel like they mattered. No judgment. Just compassion and professionalism in the middle of madness.
But here’s what we don’t see:
They carry the codes that don’t go well.
The kids they couldn’t save.
The trauma that doesn’t stay in the trauma bay, it follows them home.
They tuck it into quiet corners of their minds so they can come back tomorrow and do it all over again.
We talk a lot about firefighters, cops, paramedics… but let’s not forget the nurses holding the line inside those hospital walls.
They are Unbreakable too
Not because they don’t crack,
but because they keep showing up even when they feel like they might.
So if you know a nurse, check in with them. Really check in.
And if you’re a nurse reading this, we see you. We appreciate you. You are not alone.
To the two incredible nurses in this photo, thank you.
For your kindness.
For your strength.
For being the calm in someone else’s storm. #humansbehindtheuniform #emergency #nurses #sha #pasqua
