• Minimum 2 years of RN experience required.

Responsibilities

• Acute care setting in a Trauma Level 4 Emergency Department (not STEMI receiving or a stroke center).
• Currently 7 beds with an expansion to 14 planned in the fall.
• Staffing includes 3 RNs plus charge, with swing shifts at 9, 11, and 3.
• Separate triage area available; travelers with prior triage experience may be utilized.
• ER holds are intermixed within the department rather than a separate holding area.
• No dedicated psych/seclusion rooms as the facility is not a licensed psych facility (voluntary patients only).
• No in-house security; dispatch available if needed.
• Approximately 60 patients treated per 24-hour period.
• Nurse-to-patient ratios of 1:4-5 for non-acute patients and 2:1 for resuscitations depending on acuity.
• Patient population includes trauma, burns, car accidents, water rescue, general surgical, orthopedic injuries, OB, and STEMI/GI bleed send-outs.
• Approximately 20 trauma cases per month due to recreational area location.
• Life flight services available as needed.
• Common drips include heparin, pressors, and blood products.
• Limited ICU holds, typically managed by ICU staff though ER RNs may assist.
• 24-hour physician coverage with additional mid-level providers from 11a-11p.
• Charge Nurse and House Supervisor roles present, with charge nurses taking assignments as needed on nights.
• CNAs, techs, unit clerks, and sitters are shared resources from other units without fixed ratios.
• Respiratory Therapy in-house 24/7 for the whole hospital; nurses may need to administer breathing treatments occasionally.
• Nursing is responsible for performing all EKGs.
• Monitor techs assist with telemetry monitoring (Mindray equipment) but RNs are responsible for strip interpretation.
• X-Ray and CT available in the ER; techs handle transport unless the patient is unstable, in which case a nurse accompanies.
• RNs perform the majority of IV starts, with phlebotomy available as an additional resource.
• Uses EPIC EMR.
• 12-hour night shifts on a 7-7 schedule with manager-created scheduling (no self-scheduling).
• Weekend rotation required every other weekend.
• Floating not required but desired if experience in another unit is available.
• No standing call or standby requirements historically for travelers.
• Deliver emergency nursing care across a wide range of acuities and diagnoses, including trauma, cardiac, orthopedic, OB, and general medical cases.
• Work closely with a care team that includes physicians, mid-levels, charge nurses, house supervisors, CNAs, techs, and monitor techs.
• Unit-specific orientation typically includes 2 shifts with an RN during the first orientation week.
• Holiday coverage required as scheduled.
