   • Emergency Room

  Hinsdale is a very well off suburb about 20 miles outside of Chicago. Patient population can be very demanding/expectant due to their rather privileged lives. But most are very sweet. The staff continue to get younger due to senior nurses leaving for greener pastures but they were all very welcoming. I extended for 6 months and hated to leave, but I needed to take an actual travel contract (this was local for me). They are supposed to be switching to epic at some point? But still using cerner unfortunately. Majority of the ER docs are amazing and are big into communication between the nursing staff. Ratio is 1:4. They are a level II trauma but very rarely see it. They do have a pediatric inpatient unit and PICU (although it’s 4 beds and is often ‘closed’) so we did see a decent amount of pediatric patients. If you work day shift you will have the luxury of an abundance of ER techs. Night shift, you’re lucky if you have one pass 11 pm. But they were all great and super proactive. A lot of autonomy is afforded to the Er nursing staff which I very much appreciated! Would definitely go back again. The area is also very nice and definitely safe.
