Synopsis

Walk into your first emergency department shift with a plan.

Most new physician assistants and nurse practitioners don't struggle because they lack knowledge. They struggle with the messy middle: which diagnoses they can't afford to miss, which orders help and which only add noise, when to call the physician, and what a safe discharge actually requires. Orientation is supposed to teach all of that — but in most departments it depends on which preceptor you happen to work beside.

Written by an emergency medicine PA with more than 24 years in the ED and 20 years directing its advanced practice clinicians, The New ED Provider's Playbook turns orientation into a sequence you can follow and a record your department can keep.

Inside you'll find:

• 52 playbooks across three parts — systems and survival skills, the common chief complaints, and the high-risk syndromes that end careers when they're missed
• The same layout in every chapter: the first ten minutes, a can't-miss list ranked by lethality, key questions and red flags, what to order and what not to, risk tools, disposition, a discharge checklist and script, charting pearls, and when to call the physician
• Landmines — the traps new clinicians don't know exist, written down for every playbook
• Decision rules such as HEART, PERC, Wells, and PECARN printed as bedside reference tables
• A 12-week orientation plan and a preceptor check-off sheet to track what you've discussed, observed, and managed independently
• 67 practice questions, each followed immediately by its answer and rationale

Supervision, scope, and documentation rules are set by your state and your facility, not by a book. Every chapter ends with an "At your site" page where you record how your own department does it, so the book works in any ED and any state.
