Caleb Sunderland
ER Nurse
An ER nurse in the California foothills, Caleb loves offsetting the fast pace and excitement of work with the calm and quiet countryside. He enjoys travel, photography, reading...and occasionally writing. While he finds the science of medical care amazing, he also finds the lives of his patients equally fascinating. The natural bent toward efficiency found in the ED has saved him from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and he may use this advantage to finish his book one day...it being a thousand page Sci-fi novel or a treatise on some random and obscure topic.

Sometimes patients are overt in their desire for privileged treatment. Sometimes coworkers want to convey a desire for exceptional care for certain people. But in many circumstances, the lines are a little blurry.

I observed how in the busiest of times when an ER nurse was trying to move patients “upstairs” (MedSurg or ICU), they would often feel a palpable amount of cultural tension. Not only did other departments appear to work at different speeds, but had very different goals and ways of doing things.
