Working in a Stand Alone ER

Hi All,

I currently work in a fairly busy ER as a RN that is way across town from where I live. The hospital system that I work for is in the process of building a stand alone ER really close to where I live. I am thinking about transfering there when it opens so as to save money on gas! Some of my co-workers have expressed quite a bit of concern about working in a stand alone ER - specifically about traumas, strokes, STEMIs, etc. The current ER I work in doesn't really handle traumas or strokes now - we stabilize and ship off. I'm assuming the stand alone ER would do the same. I was curious if anyone out there works in a stand alone ER and if they would be willing to share their experiences.

Thanks!

    I work for a company that manages a satellite ER separate from the main hospital. I am under the assumption that they are not to take any medic runs and if someone critical walks-in they are to be stabilized and transferred. It has happened in the past when we have received a critical patient from the satellite ER, but maybe once or twice a year (I work in the ICU). They usually see the cough and congestion, abdominal pain, laceration, etc.
