We WON! We beat the universe! On 4/1 at 0640, our 37 bed ER cleared it's very last patient up to the floor, bringing our pt. census to 0!!! This hardly ever happens, so we did a bit of a celebratory "Happy happy Joy Joy" dance, and seranaded the day shift that came in at 0650 with our rousing rendition of "We are the CHAMPIONS......." So I'm starting a tag thread to all of our fellow ED's- When you beat the game, come on here and brag. The first ED who can add their "Win" to this thread will get our applause- heck, I'll even promise to send you a card and a "Prize" if you are willing to give me a contact name and address for your ED. Lets foster some intra-ED camradery! Rules to enter the game 1. You must have at least a 30 bed ED. Smaller ERs are welcome to add their accomplishment, but I've worked in small, 6 bed EDs, and clearing the board is a fairly frequent occurance. 2. If you accept the card of congrats that I send, you have to be willing to forward it to the next ED after adding your hospital and names. Come on ya'll- Us wonderful peeps from CRMC are waiting to hear from you!
Had it happen to us once last year, lasted a couple hours. Of course we had to make sure we had someone to turn over to days! Since then we've come close once or twice. We're 29 beds.
I LOVE this thread !!!! We are a small ER, 16 beds....so it happens for us...but I will keep cruising this thread, cross my fingers and LOL every time there's a new winner. Rock on ya'll!!
If I could just clear the waiting room I'd probably break down in tears.
We have had our waiting room totally cleared out! Still waiting to see when our actual ER and FT will be cleared....we once again were down to two patients by the time dayshift rolled around.
