Hey, I worked in an ER with the same. It was called EACU. Emerg. acute care unit. It was an extention of the ER. When it opened it was staffed with all ER staff as it was meant to be under the same management as the ER. Most full time staffers were cross trained in both depts and had the option to pick up extra shifts on either dept.. I left shortly after it opened so I don't know how things are now. A lot of ER's on the east coast have them.
Opposite of nursing? Maybe a patient. Maybe a person who has no respect for his/hers or anyone elses well being. A drug dealer/addict. Maybe a politician, they recieve great amounts of money from tobacco lobbyers, send people to war, set laws that may affect ppls health in negative ways?
