Thesis: During this presentation, you will learn the qualities required to be a nurse in the emergency room, their importance in both societies and one’s own life. Introduction: Attention Grabber: I want to introduce you to Sally; she is an 85-year-old female, she is from the suburbs of Chicago. She is fortunate enough to have private insurance, She has a mild cut from accidentally cutting her hand when making dinner. She spends a couple of hours with me and then returns to her family. Sally is what most of my patients will look like as an ER nurse” Females are typically seen in an ER over males and those 85 and older are the highest age group to go to the ER. Individuals who are privately insured and live in the suburbs are also the highest demographics to use an Emergency room This is all according to a study conducted by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Importance of your topic: Almost everyone has to go to the emergency room for some of their happiest moments as well as some of their saddest; emergency room nurses are vital to a hospital and a society and therefore should be respected. Credibility: The reason I wanted to become a nurse may seem a little irrelevant and silly. In elementary school, I knocked my tooth out on a pool. Since I am a clumsy person I have fallen multiple times and knocked out my fake tooth multiple times. This is an insanely embarrassing experience, as it is extremely unpleasant to be tooth-less. After accidentally getting knocked in my mouth in high school, my fake tooth fell out and I had to get it replaced yet again. When I was in the dentist’s chair I was greeted by a hygienist who made me feel silly and stupid for the situation I put myself in. It only caused my embarrassment to rise. Although this is a very minor incident compared to some of the cases I will see in an Emergency room, I wanted a job that allowed me to care for those in vulnerable situations, but to treat patients with the dignity that I was not allowed in that dentist’s chair.

Challenge the Audience or Make a Final Appeal: I chose to become an Emergency room nurse because of my desire to protect my patient’s human dignity. Although to my knowledge no one else has the desire to be an Emergency room nurse, you can share the same passion I do for human dignity in your own professions. Many of the professions you all described involved human interaction and some sort of exchange. During these exchanges, I challenge you to treat customers and coworkers with the same level of dignity that I wish I was treated with when I had my tooth chipped. Memorable Ending: Now what I described was heavy and a lot, here is a Tikok to show how enjoyable emergency room nursing can be.
