"As an emergency nurse, I was working a night shift during the winter where a bus accident brought in 10 critically injured patients on top of the standard winter visits to an ER. When we received the call that the ambulances would show up, I went into immediate triage mode with our current patients. This mode continued when the accident victims arrived, and I prioritized those with the most traumatic injuries first and worked down the line. A great piece of advice I got early in my career was that I am only one person who can only focus on one thing at a time. In these situations, this sage advice keeps me focused on the patient in front of me and not letting my mind wander to the other patients."
