The Emergency Medicine Nurse Practitioner independently manages patient care in a fast-track area within a busy emergency department. They collaborate with attending physicians, residents, and hospital services, handling a high volume of emergency cases and admissions. The role involves utilizing Cerner EMR, working varied shifts, and coordinating referrals and transfers based on patient diagnosis and severity.
APP is expected to work independently in our fast track 'VUE'. It is a 10 bed area within the emergency department. The attending physicians are available 24hrs a day for cases to review or evaluate; lend guidance or answer questions as needed.
Currently we have an 11a-11p shift we would like to staff 7 days a week. There are permanent providers on the schedule for a portion of the month. Lansing ED is single doctor covered from 2a until 8a 7 days a week. We have a staggered start schedule with maximum coverage for doctors in the afternoon with 3 doctors on duty from 2p-6p which is our busiest time. There is one APP shift daily from 11a-11p. We do have Emergency medicine residents averaging two shifts a day at varied times. There would be no supervision requirements for resident cases, those are handled by the doctors.
