Community Memorial Hospital (CMH) ED is a 16-bed unit, including two trauma bays. CMH is in the heart of South Central Virginia serving residents of over 7 counties, including North Carolina due to its location just off the I-85 interstate and its proximity to the NC border. CMH's team includes experienced Board-Certified physicians, Advanced Practiced Providers, RNs, ED Technicians, Unit Secretaries, and nursing leaders.

CMH is certified as Primary Stroke Center and treats a diverse population from newborns to geriatrics. CMH's ED census continues to grow each year and is predicted to hit 26,000 patients by the end of the fiscal year in June. This is a fast-paced environment that provides experience for treating all types of patients from urgent care to critical cases such as trauma, stroke, sepsis, and STEMI.

The community setting of CMH creates a family and patient-centered atmosphere with outstanding teamwork within the department and the broader organization.

The nursing leadership supports continuing education and provides opportunities for team members to advance their knowledge and skills. CMH is expanding its core team to meet the needs of the growing census.

The Clinical Nurse I–III roles describe nursing practice at increasing levels of responsibility, including direct patient care, coordination with the health care team, documentation, medication administration, and leadership at the unit level. Specific expectations vary by level but include providing age-specific care based on medical orders and an integrated, multidisciplinary plan of care, and safely administering prescribed medications with attention to interactions and incompatibilities.
