    Overview

     

    As our Emergency Room Tech at CHI St Vincent Hot Springs, you will help our patients by providing care to our patients in our Emergency Department. You will work with our patients daily to evaluate their needs and provide physical or psychosocial care.

     

    No two days in emergency nursing are ever the same. You’re a multitasker who can react quickly as you’ll prioritize patients based on their medical necessity while you’re providing emergency triage to others. To succeed in this role, you must have genuine compassion for your patients' well-being and understand your part in helping our patients feel at ease. You also have the patience to explain the process, answer questions, and update documentation.
