When multiple patients come into the ER, then the nurse must prioritize each patient to determine which one needs attention first. The ER nurse is the first person a patient will see upon entering the ER. This nurse will rely on experience to determine which patients are in need of critical care and which patients can wait longer before being seen by a physician.
