everything from the above nurses is true. you might want to look at what level er it is. the highest level is level i, which is a trauma center. if you have one near you, and really want to learn, i would suggest going there. also...rn in er stands for registered nut. lol good luck!

My sister and I are considering doing a travel assignment (first time) at the Roy Schnieder Hospital, St. Thomas. I would like to know what level ER it is.....what kind of patients are seen....what is the equipment like? I am nervous. My specialty is ER but I have only worked it for three years...at a level I trauma center. I am more comfortable doing ER, was still learning Trauma. I am envisioning glass bottles for chest tubes in St. Thomas from some of the posts I've read. LOL I would like to know what to expect in patients, equipments, how many beds, etc. Any info would be helpful. My sister's specialty is PACU and would like to know what kind of surgeries to expect. Thank you.
