I think wearing white people automatically think your a nurse. I have been a nurse for 20 yrs and don't advocate wearing caps again but think we get lost in the sea of colors at the hospital. I currently wear burgundy and there is nothing to distinguish me from the housekeeper.

We are going to that and wanted to do away with RN assessment for our fast track ER (sprains, strains, simple stuff) but the State of PA requires a RN assessment. They are now thinking about putting the fast track doc in triage, have him see pts first then have a PA or RNP in fast track and in the main ER do bedside triage. I am not sure how this will work when we are full in the middle of flu season and get slammed with 5 ambulances at once. I work in a small ER. Will let you know when we go to it.
