The Emergency Department at Southern New Hampshire Medical Center is a 24-bed critical care unit serving the diverse Southern New Hampshire population. As an ACS Level III-N Trauma Center and Primary Stroke Center affiliated with Mass General, it offers high-acuity care, complemented by a secure 6-bed behavioral health unit for psychiatric emergencies. To handle rising patient volumes, the department uses hallway beds and a triage fast-track area staffed by Providers in Triage (PIT). Our multidisciplinary team—comprising RNs, LNAs, providers, paramedics, Health Unit Coordinators, psychiatric clinicians, and behavioral health professionals—operates around the clock to provide compassionate, expert care to over 37,000 patients annually. We prioritize ongoing learning, providing opportunities for advanced certifications, education, and skill development in procedures like ultrasound-guided IV and arterial line management.
As a member of the Patient Care Services team, the Emergency Services Registered Nurse cares for pediatric and adult patients presenting with a variety of illnesses, injuries or trauma. The ED Nurse specializes in assessing, intervening, and stabilizing patients in situations that require critical clinical decision-making skills. The registered nurse successfully completes a competency-based orientation program to become proficient in serving the Emergency Services patient population.
