The First Emergency Department Nurse Practioners Hired
Assessing, diagnosing, and treating both all ages from the simplest problems to the most complex diagnoses in the emergency room setting. I was the first NP hired there ever, so I had a huge responsibility to my profession as well as my patients. I was in charge of scheduling and my staff of five nurse practitioners as well as to my patients, and the hospital. I worked closely with the physicians in caring for these patients with both physical and many times mental problems. I had to call primary physicians and arrange follow up for those who had no primary care physicians’. Many times, I had to transfer patients to other facilities and speak with specialist at the receiving hospital for them to accept care. I also worked closely with social services to arrange home care, wound care and even physical therapy and outpatient IV therapy. Sometimes I had to work with the health department to arrange follow up for rabies treatment and discuss cases with poison control. I managed IV therapy for hydration, ordered labs, tests, x-rays, CT scans, medications, crutches, walkers and home care. I had to work with hospitalist to arrange hospital admissions for some patients and had to decide who could safely be discharged and who should stay. I sutured, splinted, and removed foreign bodies, toenails, prescribed medication and educated patients and their families. It is a learning experience I would not have given up for the world. I had the privilege of working with 30 year experienced ER trained physicians and what they taught me, I could never have learned from a book or in any other setting.

While I worked at the Erie County Health Department for 1 year while they found someone to take the position, I worked with the homeless, underserved and insured as well as the insured. We did the basic things that are done in family practice and the urgent care, but I worked closely with the social worker because we had so many psychosocial needs that are not found in other settings.
