What tasks/responsibilities make up most of your shift (and do you work at a small community ED, level 1 trauma center, etc)? I am really drawn to the ED and want to get a better idea of the more mundane, day to day/hour to hour tasks in between major emergencies-- I realize its not all excitement, drama, and trauma. Thanks!

This is very true. Urine is like gold in the ER. Not having a urine sample can delay the patient's discharge (unless of course they decide to leave AMA) and course of treatment at times.
