About The Position

We are seeking a dedicated Emergency Room Registered Nurse (RN) to deliver high-quality care in a fast-paced emergency department at a Level 2 trauma center. The patient population ranges from minors to trauma cases and includes diverse patients, including underprivileged and homeless individuals, with a significant incidence of drug-related issues. Common cases include STEMI and CVA, along with a variety of other emergency conditions.

The emergency department has 26 total beds, including five fast-track beds (two exam rooms and three beds), and sees 40–160 patients daily. Nurse-to-patient ratios are 3:1 or 4:1.
