The Emergency Department is a fast-paced, rapidly changing and unstructured environment. ED nurses need to be proficient in setting patient care priorities and making effective decisions to ensure that care is managed efficiently according to patient needs.
ED nurses will often have an increased patient load with high patient turnover, so it is important to develop the advanced nursing skill of prioritising care according to the patient’s needs.
The art of prioritisation is a concept based on sound critical thinking, clinical judgement, decision- making and time management skills. It is important for you to be aware of the big picture and to communicate effectively with the multidisciplinary health care team.
A clinical placement in the ED provides an ideal opportunity to learn and develop strategies to manage complex clinical situations.
Within this module there are resources to help you to learn the basic principles and concepts surrounding prioritisation of patient care.

Real Life™ "Examples" of Clinical Reasoning Scenarios
http://www.atireallife.com: "Helping students think like a real nurse."
Real Life Clinical Reasoning Scenarios is a new product that is unlike any other. It allows students to hone their clinical reasoning skills by replicating real clinical situations that real nurses are faced with in real life. This adaptive study is built using branching logic—each student decision made affects what happens next and, inevitably, the scenario's end result. Learn more about Real Life Clinical Reasoning Scenarios directly from an educator and students who are using the product.
