You’ll lead and participate in code events, sepsis protocols, airway management, and pain control, while ensuring meticulous documentation and adherence to regulatory standards. A key aspect of growth is developing autonomy in decision‑making within the ER’s fast tempo, identifying opportunities for quality improvement, and pursuing specialty certifications or formal clinical leadership training. The role also supports precepting new nurses and sharing best practices, amplifying your influence beyond individual patient encounters.
Compensation and benefits reinforce the value of this opportunity.
