Did you know for every 8 hour work shift we have approximately;
28 Registered Nurses
4 Doctors
2 Respiratory Therapists
2 Licensed Practical Nurses
1 Ortho Tech
2 Health Care Aides
3 Service Aides
2 Social Workers
3 Unit Clerks
3 Housekeeping staff
It takes ALL of these people to run our Emergency Department and we work together as a team to take care of all of our patients. This team is required to make sure everything from the patient rooms being clean and stocked full of equipment all the way to life saving measures by our medical team. It truly takes a BIG group effort! We have approximately 68 beds in our Emergency Department. I attached a picture of what we wear going into each and every patients room to keep ourselves protected as well as our patients protected. I love being a Registered Nurse!
The class was so thrilled to see these photos and hear from Rowen's mom and Justin's mom from the Misericordia ICU, and we continue to be so grateful for all these health care professionals' work. There were many aspiring nurses in our class after learning more about their important jobs!
