Wyoming Medical Center

I have wanted to talk about my hospital and share but wanted to pass the NCLEX before first because of my superstitions.

I’m at the Wyoming Medical Center; it is the largest hospital in the state of Wyoming with the only hospital that has a flight team. I’m on the 4^th Floor with is the Medical Floor. It’s the area that I do want to stay and work in for awhile anyway. I guess historically my floor is the pilot floor for the whole hospital so we get the latest and greatest up grades and test everything out before everyone else. I don’t know if this is a good thing or bad thing. There is actually an expansion and renovation of the Emergency Department to help meet the demands of the surrounding area.

Here is some info from the website: “Wyoming Medical Center is a 207 bed not-for-profit (501c3) acute care hospital in the center of Wyoming. The campus covers approximately four city blocks with 719,000 square feet of space. Our central location in Wyoming is convenient and easy-to-access for the thousands of patients we are entrusted to care for each year. With its 150 physicians on staff, Wyoming Medical Center offers 50 specialties with two Centers of Excellence: The Heart Center of Wyoming and Wyoming Neuroscience and Spine Institute. Both centers have received national rankings and recognition for quality measures, outstanding care and service.

With the only air ambulance program in the state, Wyoming Medical Center’s Life Flight travels to all corners of Wyoming for patient transport. The program operates both a helicopter, which is based at the hospital, and a fixed-wing aircraft at the local airport. The service is not only available at a moment’s notice for emergency care for the severely injured or critically ill, it also coordinates with other facilities in transporting patients throughout the United States and Canada.”
