Nurse definition of multi-tasking

4 Nurses have the unique ability during extreme chaos to manage all types of patients, sooth the ruffled feathers of demanding and overbearing physicians, calm the nerves of a distraught and anxious family member, and successfully interpret hospital policy and procedure. We are well grounded, quick on our feet, possess critical thinking skills during crisis situations. So when we are mired down in blood, feces, or vomit, we can oblige a fellow colleague when they need a STAT lunch break. Does this describe you?
