Emergency Room experience

Hi Everyone! I have my ED experience tomorrow and we need to find a good article on "a typical day in the ER" to prepare for it. Can anyone recommend a reliable website to visit? I've tried several searches but have come up empty handed!

I found this article. I don't know if it is what you are looking for, but it's interesting. It goes into agency work a little, but continues with her time spent in the ER, plus a little on the pt. perspective.
