Pediatric Level 1 Trauma Center

Emergency Room

I RN: 2 pts.

Only 1pt if you have the held trauma room. If a trauma comes, then your co workers cover your kiddo while you're in the trauma.

Our "fast track" urgent care side is 10 rooms ran by 2 nurses with 2 techs who just break up the tasks. But those kids already have an assessment, vitals, and triage note done before they are in that zone.

I work in LTC for developmentally disabled. 48 patients. My evening med pass is typically 7 hours long.
