Welcome to Nurse O’s ER Pharm
Welcome to the part of the ER where the real chaos begins — the meds.
In this module, we’re diving into the life-saving, adrenaline-pumping, “wait… how many milligrams was that again?” world of ER pharmacology. This is where new nurses become dangerously competent, and experienced nurses learn how to stop sweating every time someone orders a drip at 2 a.m.
You’ll learn how to:
💊 Think like an ER nurse when you choose meds
⚡ Prioritize medications when everyone wants something right now
🧪 Understand why the med is given — not just what it is
🚨 Recognize “nope, not today” red flags before a medication becomes a code
💉 Start ER drips without panicking (we’re talking mag, cardizem, nitro, insulin—ALL of it)
📈 Spot pharm patterns in labs, vitals, and patient presentations
🚫 Master the “Don’t kill your patient” list — aka the meds you double, triple, and quadruple-check
But don’t worry — we’ll also cover the ER classics, like:
☕ Caffeine as a vital sign
🤯 Pain meds vs “my pain is 12/10” patients
🛑 Why Zofran is practically a religion
🔥 How nurses magically remember 400 meds but forget where they put their pen
😂 AND the unspoken golden rule:
If the ER nurse asks for it, we need it.
By the end of Module 5, you won’t just understand ER pharmacology —
you’ll FEEL like the nurse everyone calls when the drip starts alarming.
