ER

says, “ and if you look at everything there is usually never a double moment.” Medina works in the Emergency Room (ER) at Lenox Hill Hospital where she experiences different situations that occur in the department. Nursing isn’t as simple as it sounds. Working twelve-hour shifts with different scenarios every day is arduous for the nurse practitioner that manages the ER. Working in the ER to save a life may sound a bit cliche, “But when you can really save a life that is worth saving what I mean…

part. The ER is a network in the cytoplasm. It’s a system of fluid-filled tubules and canals that coils, twists and turns throughout the cytoplasm. It carries proteins through one part of the cell to another. The rough ER is bumpy or studded with ribosomes. The building materials are either build on it of in it. This is also known as the cell’s membrane factory. Pancreas cells are abundant with rough ER. The smooth ER doesn’t work with proteins. It works with lipids instead. The smooth ER is a…

walk-in clinic focused on the delivery of ambulatory care in a dedicated medical facility outside of a traditional emergency room. Urgent care centers primarily treat injuries or illnesses requiring immediate care, but not serious enough to require an ER visit. An emergency service is any health care service provided to evaluate and/or treat any medical condition such that a prudent layperson possessing an average knowledge of medicine and health, believes that immediate unscheduled medical care…

Nucleus The Nucleus is an example of a command centre found inside a eukaryotic cell; it’s usually the most prominent organelle, yet it occupies only 10% of the total volume of the cell. If this cell did not have a Nucleus, it would be defined as a prokaryote cell, however if the Nucleus was damaged and not repaired, the cell would simply die. The cell nucleus is enclosed within a double membrane (contains an Inner and Outer Nuclear Membrane) called the Nuclear Envelope, which separates the…

Background and Significance Decreasing resources for outpatient psychiatric services in the community have increased ER presentations of patients with psychiatric concerns. Many ERs are not equipped to assess patients with psychiatric problems, as a result a patient with psychiatric concerns can wait 12-24 hours in the ER for assessment, a practice known as boarding, which has been reported to cost hospital systems approximately $2,264 per patient on average. (Nicks & Manthey, 2012). This has…

rely completely on lipid transport from the organelles which actively synthesize lipids. Lipid transport can occur by various mechanisms (Fig.1a). First, lateral diffusion of lipids through membrane continuities, such as those that exist between the ER and the outer and inner nuclear membrane. Next, vesicular transport to the Golgi, the plasma membrane and endosomes, which is the major membrane transport pathway between cellular organelles in the secretory and endocytic pathways; through the…

The region of the ER that is studded with ribosomes is called the rough ER (RER). Proteins generated in the rough ER are trafficked to or across the plasma membrane. The region of the ER that lacks ribosomes is called the smooth ER (SER). The smooth ER makes lipids, hormones, and steroids and breaks down toxic chemicals. Rough ER looks like sheets or disks of bumpy membranes while smooth ER looks more like tubes. Rough ER is called rough because it has ribosomes attached…

Emergency Nurses help treat patients when in a traumatic situation or disturbing injury. An ER Nurse has to have very good leadership skills such as, being able to adapt in various different environments and work well with others. Some characteristics a ER Nurse has to have are; they have to be able to multitask, be fast-paced, structured and patient-facing. One main reason I want to pursue my dream, in becoming a ER Nurse is because I’ve always loved intense, and I love to watch someone…

Chloroplast (Plant cells only) - Small oval structure containing chlorophyll giving the chloroplast a green pigment. Chloroplast uses the sun’s energy to create food for the plant, this is known as photosynthesis. Cell wall (Plant cells only) - Provides structure and protection to the cell in the form of an outer layer. This organelle lets H2O, CO2, and O2 pass through it. One large vacuole (Plant cells only) - Large sac filled with fluids. The vacuole in a plant cell stores, large amounts…

I put together the contamination rates that were taken over a month and presented them to the phlebotomist and the ER Nurses/phlebotomist. I made them aware that the desired goal is to be 3% and under. The information I provided was from a presentation by Peter H. Gilligan called “How to get your blood culture contamination rates to <1% is an outstanding goal to reach…
