Emergency Room Care Going to the emergency room is never fun. It may also seem as though there is always an unusually long wait in the ER. However, most patients are seen by a nurse relatively quickly if they are suffering from an acute condition.

OpenStudy (gelow):

People with routine broken legs or pains that do not seem life-threatening will usually have to wait longer to be seen. Nurses are trained to look for the cases that seem particularly severe. All in all, remember that going to the ER does not replace visiting your regular doctor, and the order in which patients are seen is based on how serious each case is. Saving lives is an ER's number one goal.
