This study explores the professional and educational development of emergency nurses and their beliefs regarding the appropriate content for a triage educational programme. A descriptive survey was conducted of emergency nurses employed by randomly selected teaching and non-teaching hospitals. ⋯ The survey found that the best method to prepare the novice emergency nurse for the triage role was to use a combination of a triage educational programme and clinical experience. Respondents indicated great interest in enrolling in an educational programme and, as a result of this survey, a comprehensive triage educational programme has been developed.
