Emergency Room Manager

I work in the VAMC as an ER psychologist. If a patient comes to the ER and discloses over the course of medical treatment that he was in a hit and run a few days ago, are staff required to report to police?

The ED staff is considered a mandatory reporter for instances of child abuse, elder abuse, domestic abuse, gunshot wounds so those are no brainers. I am not sure if the staff are required by law to report crimes that someone else tells them about. I would hope ethically that a person would do so, especially crimes against persons.

Hi! I recently received a position as the Manager of the Emergency Department...but I am not a nurse. Everyone keeps saying I am not qualified for this position, are they right?!

Nearly all of the  clinical managers that I know of in the Emergency Department are nurses.  The majority of the staff are nurses and nurse aides/techs, so in order to manage the staff and understand their scope of practice and job responsibilites, a nursing degree as a basis is a necessity.  There are some large Emergency Departments that may have a business manager or operations manager, along with the clinical manager (nurse) that has some type of business or healthcare administration degree, but I have not seen that many out there.  I understand it is a growing field, have you been hired in that capacity?

How much experience in years and education must an ER nurse have to assist in major ER surgeries. And do they work on set trauma teams under the same Doctor each time? What is the chain of command in an ER?

Hi, I have heard by the media that most hospitals are full but have also heard this is a total lie and most are not that full. What is it really?
