Re: Emergency Services- Medical?
Personally, I think it's a great idea! ER is great to start as a new grad-ours is broken up into medical, acute, urgent care and pediatrics. Our pediatrics is separate.
No one can be flow coordinator(director of flow at front door), or triage for one year. Urgent care nurses must wait for 3 months because of the flow-fast and furious. Acute care and medical are considered the same-WHICH I THINK IS CRAZY! Medical ER can go bad, but it's guarenteed in Acute-I just don't believe new nurses belong there without strong nurses around them.
We don't do trauma(unless necessary), but we are stroke, cardiac and BURN-that is more than enough some times.
