Clinical Nurse - ED Hold at Tampa General Hospital

Care begins in the Emergency Department and is delivered in close collaboration with the ED nursing team. Patients with inpatient status are transferred to inpatient units as beds become available, while those under observation remain in the ED Hold Unit for the duration of their stay.
