• General ER patient population including abdominal pain, lacerations, SOB, chest pain, stroke/CVA with TPA, DKA, sickle cell, psych, MVAs, trauma (stabilize and transfer), and send-out STEMIs
• Averages 90 patients per day, with peak season volume reaching up to 140 patients per day

• No separate holding area — ER holds are intermixed within the department and managed by ER nurses
• Two safety rooms available for psychiatric patients; in-house security on weekends with plans for 24/7 coverage

• Every other weekend required; holidays rotated with permanent staff
• No on-call or standby requirement
• No floating to other units required

Requirements

• Active RN license — GA or Compact license required

• Minimum 2 years of ER experience required

• Ability to read and interpret cardiac monitor strips
