We had a huge ER and two or three ER docs and a boat load of ARNP (Nurse Practitioners) and PA's (Physician Assistant) doing most of the heavy lifting along with the Nurses and aids... It was obvious where things were going but we did not have a management company messing with things.
The Admins in the hospital did a good job of messing with things..
I miss the patients and some of the people I worked with but on the most part I'm glad I'm out... The politics will kill you... or the patient... Follow the money...
