Charge Nurse Celebrate and educate about the work of emergency
department pediatric nurses. Invite your community to experience
this vital bee hive of healing and care from a new vantage point,
the other side of the triage desk. This story of a single shift
in the life of a pediatric ED, brings alive the issues, vibrancy,
humor, and humanity of the nurses who become the guardians of
children's lives. Theatrical storytelling by Judith Black, one of the nation's most revered practitioners of the art, speaks to the heart, the imagination, and the intellect. CHARGE NURSE, initially commissioned by the Pediatric Emergency Nursing Conference in Rocky Hill, Connecticut, is a slice of ED life. It focuses on the single shift of one charge nurse, the issues that move her day, and reflections on those issues from four other nurses representing a broad cross section of the profession. From green nurses setting IVs to the profound effects of working with dying children, the enigmas of this profession are explored in a way that resonates with audiences from both sides of the triage desk.
