About The Position

Registered Nurse for the Emergency Room in a trauma center with 56 beds, expandable to 60–70 with hall beds. The department includes a six-bed fast track, a separate five-bed triage area, 18 beds designated for inpatient holds, and a locked hall with six private psychiatric treatment rooms. Nurses manage their own ER holds, though inpatient nurses may float to the ED to take inpatient assignments for holds. The department sees approximately 170–200 patients per day, with ratios of 1:3 and up to 1:4 for low-acuity patients. Travelers may take a triage test and may be assigned triage, although department staff generally handle it. In-house security, ED physicians and mid-level providers, and charge nurses and house supervisors are available.
