I worked in the ER most of my career and then in employee health as an immunization specialist just before I retired. Interestingly, most of our other employee health and workmen's comp nurses were psych nurses and of course ER requires a lot of psych. We all had a lot of laughs about that. We ran a great department with the 5 psych and 1 ER nurse. We took that hospital from bordering on uninsurable to the lowest insurance modifier in the nation. Glad to be retired, it was a lot of work.
The raised beds sure sound like the way to go for old knees and backs.
