The Emergency Department Registered Nurse works in a 52-bed emergency department in Derby, Kansas, with 134 staff members. The unit’s staffing per pod is the same on day and night shifts: one charge nurse, four registered nurses, one technician, one unit clerk, one physician, and one mid-level provider. Patient ratios average 3:1 and may be 5:1 for lower-acuity patients; pediatric patients are cared for using team nursing, with ratios estimated. The role involves providing emergency care in a fast-paced environment, including starting IVs, administering medications, conducting sedations, and caring for pediatric patients. The ideal candidate is adaptable, ready to learn, and able to manage high-paced situations. The department welcomes diverse candidates and values experience at larger facilities, particularly the length of that experience.
