Abstract
The professional development of emergency nursing is occurring rapidly. This chapter attempts to explain how that development is advanced and applied where it really matters — in the Emergency Department (ED). In order for patients to benefit, theories and trends must be translated into nursing care systems and programmes. The person who can make this happen is the ED nurse manager, whether called nurse manager, head nurse, chief nurse, or assistant director of nursing. The role of the nurse manager reflects the synthesis of conceptualization and implementation.
