I am curious how other ERs run. For instance, in my ER the nurses are expected to take blood, start Ivs, meds, assess, procedures, document, etc. We have two medics for a 40 bed ER but they also transport our patients so they do not always have time to help out.
I have a be heard other ERs have phlebotomist that are assigned to the ER, etc. I would love to hear how other ERs are run because I feel like it can be unsafe at times expecting the nurses to do everything with very little time to get it done.
