Does your hospital go on diversion

Published

Hello

I was wondering if you've ever heard of level one trauma centers going on diversion related to no beds and no staff? Currently where I work we never go on diversion and all Directors and managers end up coming in to work the floor?

Specializes in orthopedic/trauma, Informatics, diabetes.

All the time. We are a level 1 trauma and when the world gets wacky, its pretty bad. Also we do many transplants. I work weekends and I have seen 6-8 ORs dealing with that on top of the usual weekend night shenanigans
