Upon average, the department treats 140-180 patients per day. The nurse-to-patient ratio in the ER is 1:3, and in the Urgent Care is 1:6. Common patient diagnoses include chest pain, abdominal pain, sepsis, syncope, elevated heart rate, headaches, and suicidal ideation. Nurses must be knowledgeable in administering common IV drips such as heparin, nitroglycerin, and norepinephrine. The department is staffed with ED physicians, mid-level providers, and urgent care physicians. A charge nurse is present, especially on day shifts where they may not take patient assignments. Patient care technicians are scheduled to assist RNs. Respiratory therapy is not available 24/7 in the ER but is accessible at all times for critical interventions. RNs are responsible for drawing labs and performing blood cultures if necessary. All nurses work 12-hour shifts with a structured scheduling system. Weekend and holiday requirements necessitate working every other weekend and holiday. Floating to other units occurs infrequently, primarily for support roles rather than patient care. Professional scrubs are required, and orientation consists of three days focusing on department training and unit-specific practices.
