  1. How does an ER run?

  2. No more phlebotomist in the hospital?!

  4. Charge Rn's. How many beds on your units?

    81 bed level 1 ED with 3 additional trauma bays ~30 staff (3-4 pts: 1 RN ratio/3-5 RNs in triage) No differential CN does not take patients

  7. Nights in the ER??

    I work in a level I ED and nights are our busiest time. In a 12 hr shift I am lucky I get a break to eat (AND we are often adequately staffed -- just busy). Night shifts are fun and we have great teamwork. The other day my patient load was a non-STEM...

  11. University of Michigan (UofM) Accelerated program

    How/when do you exactly learn that you were starting in Jan? I would LOVE to be accepted for Jan but they keep telling me it is full and that I have to wait to hear a response for the May start. I applied for UDM over a year ago in Aug 2009.
