How different is ER nursing from floor nursing?

[bear14]

I am on an observation unit/tele and I was curious how much different ER nursing is from being on a floor. What does an ER nurse do that a m/s nurse does or doesn't do? ER is something that I am interested in but wondering how much of a challenge it is. Thanks in advance!

And they were sent to fast track because the complaint was back pain...

I'm sorry to hear that for the patient, but I'm glad to hear that our facility is not the only one that has that issue.
