I was just offered a job in the ED upon graduation and was wondering if anyone worked there how they feel about it? When I took my tour it was pretty dead and I wasn't able to speak with any of the RNs. Do the nurses get along? Are the doctors easy to work with? What ages/problems do you see most often? What issues do you have with working there?

Thanks in advance! :)

I have not worked there but I have a friend that was a nurse's assistant there and loved it. I hope someone is able to help you soon.

Hello,

I currently work in the PICU at Cincinnati Children's as a HUC. Congrats on your new job! I accepted a new grad position in the PICU upon graduation in June, so I'll stay on my current unit. Now, I dont know a whole lot about the ED, but most everyone is friendly. Of course there are those few that are mean, but they are few and far between. Most attendings are great, but there are lots of residents and fellows running around and they are friendly too. It's the only place I have ever worked where most of the attendings are called by their first names by everyone.

I have been there for almost a year and I realy like it. I like the people, the challenge, the kids. At CCHMC you see everything.. a young teenage gun shot victim walked right into the ED! anything from asthma to cardiac failure, you'll see it all.. Childrens takes all ages too, they dont stop at 18.

I think you'll like the hospital and I hope you like the ED.
