See above for Responsibilities as an Emergency Room RN clinical staff member. Responsibilities as an ER RN at this hospital included having patients that were/came in having an acute MI (myocardial infarction) they would be prepared in a very quick manner starting with quick triage assessment, (ACLS being given such as; oxygen, cardiac monitoring, EKG, IV starts, blood draws, medication administration and any other order given by the MD) and taken to the cardiac catheterization room for intervention. Also this hospital is a certified stroke center and being an ER RN the responsibilities included taking care of patients with stroke like symptoms and intervention such as FAST triage, (ACLS being given such as; oxygen, cardiac monitoring, EKG, IV starts, blood draws, medication administration and any other order given by the MD), the stroke scale assessment would frequently be done, an immediate CT scan, and the patient would be evaluated by a Yale New Haven Neurologist via satellite TV (still being seen by the emergency room MD). The patient would either be sent to Yale New Haven Hospital and/or clot busting medication would be given at the discretion of the Yale Neurologist.

What they like about Lawerence And Memorial Hospital:

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
