This study explored the lived experiences of emergency room nurses in providing end-of-life care using Van Manen’s hermeneutic phenomenological method. The research included fourteen emergency room nurses working at public and private hospitals in Midsayap, Cotabato, who were selected through purposive sampling. Data was gathered through detailed semi-structured interviews guided by Van Manen’s six research activities and five existential lifeworlds. Critical analysis of transcripts showed that 14 essential themes emerged. Nurses’ lived experiences were reflected through Grounded Commitment in the Middle of Emergency, At the Crossroads of Action and Acceptance, struggling with the Unseen Battle, Navigating Priorities in a Triage World, Voices of Compassion in the Midst of Crisis, and Navigating Ethical Crossroads: Choices in Uncertainty. Coping strategies emerged through Silent Strength in a Fast-Paced Reality, Anchoring the Human Spirit, Dignity Amidst Urgency, Coping with Silent Burdens, and The Weight of Inadequate Support. Nurses also shared key insights through Fastened in Compassionate Initiative, Barriers Within the System, and Growing Through Support and Experience. The study noted that emergency room nurses usually hold onto emotional and ethical issues while making important care decisions and facing different challenges in their environment. Many people called for improved knowledge and reforms within institutions. It is recommended that end-of-life care training be offered, that peer support among staff be encouraged, and that there be enough personnel, medications, and private areas for emergency patients.
