- Emerg Nurse. 1999 Sep 1; 7 (5): 5.
AbstractI was one of those A&E nurses in the mid-eighties and early nineties who was committed to the concept of nurse triage as a means of providing better care for patients. I felt it was crucial for emergency nurses to recognise the importance of nurse triage and the part that they could play in its development. Estrada ( 1981 ) referred to 'non-professional triage' when patients were not seen and assessed by a nurse. She said of nurse triage that it was 'a professional judgment, made by a professional nurse'.
