  • Collaboration with Medical Team:
    • Work closely with physicians, nurse practitioners, and other team members to develop and implement patient care plans.
    • Assist with diagnostic testing, such as lab work, imaging (X-rays, CT scans), and electrocardiograms (ECGs), based on patient needs.
    • Communicate clearly and efficiently with the healthcare team, updating them on changes in patient status and discussing care options.
  • Patient Monitoring and Documentation:
    • Continuously monitor patients' conditions, noting changes in vital signs, mental status, and symptoms.
    • Document all patient assessments, treatments, and outcomes accurately in the electronic health record (EHR).
    • Ensure compliance with legal, regulatory, and hospital standards for patient care and documentation.
  • Patient and Family Communication:
    • Provide clear explanations to patients and their families about diagnoses, procedures, and treatment plans.
    • Offer emotional support to patients and families experiencing stress or anxiety due to medical emergencies.
    • Advocate for patients' needs and coordinate care with other departments to ensure timely interventions.
  • Infection Control and Safety:
    • Follow strict infection control protocols, including appropriate use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
    • Ensure the ER environment remains safe and sterile for both patients and staff.
    • Respond to potential biohazardous situations with proper precautions and protocols.
  • Crisis Management:
    • Handle a wide range of patient emergencies, from minor injuries to life-threatening conditions, using critical thinking and rapid decision-making skills.
    • Manage high-stress situations effectively, staying calm while providing life-saving interventions.
    • Prioritize care based on patient acuity and available resources, ensuring efficient use of ER staff and equipment.
  • Patient Discharge and Follow-Up:
    • Provide discharge instructions and explain the next steps in care, including medication instructions, follow-up appointments, or referrals.
    • Educate patients on preventive measures and care after discharge, especially in cases of trauma or chronic conditions.
  • Teamwork and Mentorship:
    • Collaborate with emergency room staff, including physicians, nurses, support staff, and paramedics, to ensure coordinated patient care.
    • Act as a mentor or preceptor for new nurses, students, and less experienced staff members, providing guidance and support in emergency care procedures.

Salary is estimated at $100,000 - 120,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.
