It amazes me the things people go to the ER for, don't they realize how expensive it is. Unfortunately I am guessing a lot of them don't pay for it.

I am currently a nursing student and I am really interested in working in the ER after graduation. I was just curious if anyone knows the likelyhood of being hired in an ER right after graduation or if most ERs require a certain amount of experience in Med/surg or other non-specialty areas. Also does anyone know if the ER will hire nurse externs? Thanks for any advice

That is just crazy! I know people who use the ER as a drs office because they don't have insurance but sometimes I wonder if people have any common sense!

Make sure you know your Chemistry and how to balance chemical equations. I only had about 2 anatomy type questions but was loaded with chemistry and microbiology. The English was fairly easy but I would brush up on it if you aren't real strong in dissecting sentences. I didn't think the math was too bad but know some algebra. As for books, I had one that I got from the school but I think Barnes and Noble sells it too. It is the one recommended by the TEAS company it was pretty good.
