![]() Just got hired as a medic in a hospital emergency room. Anyone else work in an ER as an emt/medic/RN?
How do you like the 12 hour shifts, and the overall work environment? Friends have told me the ER is the worst department in a hospital to work in, any truth to this? Share your experiences fellow EMS workers | ||

![]() ER def not the worst dept to work in, probably one of the better ones honestly. I did 6 years in the US Army as a medic. One of those years I was actually an EMT on base. 12 hour shifts sucked sometimes but having more days off during the week made up for it. it actually might be a little more chill on the civilian side since your scope of practice is very limited. when we werent responding to calls we were working the ER doing all sorts of shit from IVs to flushing out ear wax. oh and dont forget your TUBES (totally unnecessary breast exams)!

![]() Wife works as a nurse at the children's hospital. Loves it, even when things get hairy. Working under stress like that keeps your mind shark and your reflexes quick. Just try not to let the stuff get to you too much.

![]() Been a firefighter/EMT for a year now.. riding the ambulance can be fun and it can really suck haha. I'm currently going to school to be a nurse since I feel like as it is I'm just a watered down nurse anyway.
