ECRN Program

Emergency Communications Registered Nurse

About the Program

ECRNs are registered nurses working in the Emergency Department. They are the other end of the radio when an ambulance calls the hospital; receiving the pre-hospital report and preparing for patient arrival.

Working under the System's medical direction, ECRNs provide telemetry and relay medical control orders to paramedics and EMTs in the field.

If you are a current Emergency Department nurse in the Highland Park EMS System and are interested in this program, please contact us to review pre-requisite requirements.

At this time, the ECRN program is only available to system providers. If you are a regional or out-of-system provider interested in this program, please contact us.
