Yearly volume of your ER

It will all depend on location and hospital size.

The hospital I work at has around 37,000 ER visits/yr.

This is a local ER in the suburbs, we have 16 rooms in the ER, with daily use of another 4-5 hallway beds.

As for busy and chaotic, that also depends on staff, nurse to pt ratios, flow, rooms, providers, and hospital bedding.

Whoa how many rooms do you have?

level 1 trauma center we averaged over 70k, but we had so many holds....average of 40 to 50 a shift. It was a miracle we saw anyone really...

then I went to a level 2 trauma, we saw 110k last year, average 380 to low 400s a night.

now I'm at a mid 300s place and I hate the inefficiency. Give me back my throughput!

My hospital is a level 1 trauma center in New England, we have over 100,000 ED visits per year, 99% adult patients too, we have a non affiliated pediatric hospital across the street so we rarely get any kids.

Non trauma community teaching hospital

Around 115K a year

46 beds in the main ER

Commonly boarding 15-20 patients

Crazy

I only work on the adult side.

Haha... I worked in a small 12 bed ER in a semi-rural setting. When I worked there 3 years ago, our daily visits averaged about 50 patients per 24 hours, and our yearly volume was 17,000 or so. We had a max of 2-4 nurses on during the day and 2-3 nurses on at night (depending on the time). One physician and one PA most days. Sometimes it was just one physician. No PA at night. One "ED tech" who rarely did patient care, they did mostly secretarial duties and took over registration for the whole facility at night.

I got to see lots of cool stuff and learned to do a lot without the resources that bigger hospitals have, though. Some of the numbers you guys are posting here are staggering to me.

110,000 level 1.

100,000/yr, 75 bed Level 1

Aprox 110,000 a year

We have ~75,000K a year at my emergency department, we are not a trauma center but we are becoming one in the next couple years

Its a level two community hospital. We see both adults and paediatric clients. We have 90 beds divided into Acute, sub acute and an urgent care area thats open during the daytime hours mostly this area is suppose to treat minor cuts, brushes, fractures etc.
