[traumanurses] Re: ED nurse practitioners

["Lygas, Marjorie" <Marjorie_Lygas@mhhs.org>]

We employ nurse practitioners in our ER both in minor trauma and fast track and we also have nurse practitioners and PAs on the Trauma Service to augment the service with the declining residency hours. On the Neurosurgery service we use both nurse practitioners and PAs. It works very well in all areas and provides great continuity of care.

Hi all

Could any of you tell me if you have nurse practitioners in your ED?  Do you know of any countries other than England, Australia and the US that employ ED nurse practitioners?

 

Cheers
