On average, how many patients do you see in the emergency room per shift?

I would see anywhere from 20 on slow days up to 40 on a crazy day. That was for a 12 hour shift.

Depends if you are in triage, fast track, non emergent or emergent, are the trauma/Code stroke/code blue designated RN for the day.

Depends on the day and if we have any holds waiting for rooms. Per shift the ER I work for sees about 50 pts so about 100 total for a 24 hr period.

35 to 40 patients

In my department, it depends on what role you’re scheduled for. The 4 room team often has admission pt’s that could occupy the room up to 4 hours or longer, so you have the care of that same patient. Overall, the turn around for that team is usually about 15 patients per shift on average. We also have a fast track area which usually takes less time for individual patient care so the average is more like 20-30 patients per shift since we have a 6 patients ratio.

Triage role for an entire shift is usually about 50-70 patients as we need to “double triage” at peak times of 0900, 1700 & 1800hrs , which is typically the “rush hour” fur our emergency department. Typically we see 150-230 patients per 24 hir day.

I used to work in ER 10 years ago on day shift we usually start at 6 patients, by the end of the shift I get 12 or more .

20 on per charting listed and 10,000 during a day shift during the holidays a week

On a bad night in the twenties to thirty maybe usually 5 patients or more about x12 hrs. You will be busy.you will get children, psych, geriatric , adults, suicides, etoh, violent patients, Mva , minor injuries coughs cold ,Covid , flu to cat bites.Need to know your assessment including cardiac, trauma, resp .Don’t know it don’t take the job. Few places actually train you they let you sink or swim ,

Depends on the trauma level of the facility. Trauma 1's are typically 60-100 beds. Trauma 4's can be as small as 6-8 beds. The Ratio is usually 3:1 or 4:1 per nurse.

Per nurse

Any where from 15 to twenty depending on the flow.

I saw round about 100 patients in emergency room per shift..
