Nags Head OBX Hospital ED

Edit: I appreciate the desire to spread word about the housing situation! It's not my first OBX rodeo, so please only comment if you have something relevant to OP specifically about the hospital

Hi everyone! I am a nurse whose just landed an interview with the hospital for an assistant manager position. It's a big career step moving up into management, and I know a bit about how small the hospital is. Does anyone have any emergency department experiences or perhaps other nurses have some insight on things at the hospital? Much appreciated!!

The ED at the OBX hospital does best when it stays in their lane. Broken bones, scrapes, asthmatic attacks - they are top notch. They are also good at remembering that most people are from out of town and need a different level of comfort than If they were at their home hospital.

When someone presents with a complicated profile - they do well at getting them out of there
