An extra pair of hands for our ED
Things can get pretty hectic during the night shift in our emergency department (ED), but that has never been a problem for Emily Mesick. As a clinical technician, Emily draws blood, reads EKGs, inserts Foley catheters, and performs a variety of other services to assist the nursing staff with our ED patients.
"When you work in an ED, you never know what’s going to happen next,” Emily says. "But I like that everything is always changing. That way, the job never gets boring.”
Another part of the job that Emily likes is the camaraderie that develops among the staff while treating a patient with a difficult medical Condition. Whether they’re treating a teen who is intoxicated, hypothermic and unresponsive, or a heart attack patient who had to be shocked 14 times by paramedics on the way to the ED, the teamwork is amazing.
“It doesn’t matter what is going on—when a patient needs help, everyone pulls together to get the job done. And helping the team during those types of situations is the part of this job that I like the most.”
