 I love coming to work every day. You never know what challenges are going to pop up each day and that's part of the joy. You have to be prepared for anything, whatever rolls through the door. We have a wide range of risks. We have exposure to people's bodily fluids so that is one of our dangers, infection control. So we have different levels of precautions for different patients. Physically we have patients who can be aggressive and those are often drug affected or alcohol affected patients. So we have a safe area of ED which we can place them in that reduces the risk of harm to us as staff but to the patient as well from themselves. We also have a various codes that we can call in the ED that will bring specific staff to us to assist. Not as well publicised is more the emotional toll of being an ED nurse. We come to work every day and see people at their worst and over time that takes its toll on us all. We have the EAP which is the Employee Assistance Programme so that's free psychological assistance to staff so that's a really great service to have. We have a system called Risk Man and that's for all staff have access to it and it's for us to report any sort of near misses or actual accidents or adverse outcomes. Those are escalated up the line and quite often we have feedback on those so what we can do on the floor to make things better but I know management also have implemented structures and processes as a result of the Risk Man system to make it a safer workplace for us as staff but also for patients. Working in an environment like this where there's high pressures and high stress it's really important that I go home to my family safely both emotionally and physically to make sure that I'm being the best person that I can be as a mum and a sister and a partner and everything else as well as I'm being a really good nurse for all of my patients.
