Abstract
The increasing number of patients seeking general medical care in the emergency rooms of urban teaching hospitals creates substantial volume loads, especially in triage and in delivery of primary care. Interns perform these tasks unenthusiastically and inefficiently, session physicians indifferently. Selected experienced nurses, after brief but intensive and targeted training, can successfully assume these dual responsibilities with a high degree of job satisfaction.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
