I’ve been an ER nurse manager since 2009. Previously, I spent 24 yrs as an ER nurse. My hospital, a Level III trauma center, sees 70,000+ ER patients/yr. My responsibilities include billing, federal/state regulation oversight, metrics reporting, software education of e-records, and hiring/termination/disciplinary actions. The ER is one of the key impacted areas of healthcare reform. It’s a scary and exciting time for us, not just in the care of patients, but what the future holds for healthcare.

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. I will check with someone about my pay grade and get back to you. I
Thanks for the question--I have emailed and called with no response. Please contact again through this site if you are still interested.
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?
