          When I say floor I mean you’ve been assigned a bed out of the ER department. I once said that to a new diagnosis type 1 diabetes kid in the peds ED and she thought I meant we were going to make her sleep on the floor, lol. Boarding in the ER on a stretcher for days is unfortunately common in the US.
