Part of the "Best Hospitals" issue ...
Nice (though brief) article & photo essay on a triage nurse at Montefiore Medical Center in NYC.

Thanks for the story! Gently told, I might add; I thought it was kinda short. Of course the comment I noticed was how her job was not any tougher than any other nurse at the same institution.
Any thoughts on that idea?

At least they're giving triage some credit..... for a change. We're the redheaded step-children of the ER. All the other nurses hate me, cause I bring them patients. They all hate my job, they don't wanna do it. I don't spend enough time with any of the patients for them to be thankful for the job that I do. And that's what they should thank triage nurses for, being quick!
