General Secretary of the INMO Phil Ni Sheaghdha decried these "appalling" conditions.
"This is an incredible level of overcrowding and the appalling conditions experienced in Emergency Departments are now beyond anything we have ever seen," she said.
"It now amounts to a humanitarian crisis for patients and a risk-rich environment for those trying to work in such chaotic conditions.
"INMO members cannot be expected to tolerate such appalling and dangerous working environments and, at this point, many members of the public are openly asking the nurses how they could tolerate such a situation."
Its members are meeting next week to discuss the crisis and decide what course of action to take.
