The emergency department is an environment described by the staff working there as 'different', with its own particular codes and way of working. Faced with the constant flow of patients, the need to guide, relieve, treat, how can nurses find the time to reassure? What is the nature of the nurse-patient relationship in emergency departments? Student nurses share their views of emergency departments.

From their very first practical placement, student nurses are confronted with suffering and bodies which are wounded, fatigued and worn down by pain, disease or age. They learn, through their experience and the support provided by health professionals, that showing consideration for others means taking care of their body with the utmost respect, in order to preserve the patient's dignity.
