I'm wondering what the best way to 'approach' or game a girl working in a (very) fast paced environment during the day.

I'm thinking I should just go for it all out in a direct approach -- pretty much out & say, "hey, you're obviously really busy, but you should put your number in my phone & we'll meet up later for drinks & some stimulating conversation."

Here's the background:
I saw this woman today - she's a nurse in a busy hospital... cute little blonde - just my type. She walked past me while I was talking to someone in the hallway - very brief eye contact -nothing out of the ordinary.

Well, a few minutes later, I'm in the hallway again - talking to another person now... she comes walking back -- a machine in the hallway prevented her from walking behind me and the other person was against the opposite wall. I took a step back so she had to walk through us. She made direct eye contact with me (not even glancing at the other person), lit up a big smile and said "excuse me", as she hurried on past (all the nurses here are scrambling around - very busy like). That was the last I saw of her for the time I was there too.

Anyway... I'll be back in this hospital for the next couple of weeks - passing through this area. Any suggestions for this environment? Had she not looked so busy, I probably would have stopped her and asked her some b.s. about directions to a certain department or if the cafeteria food is decent or if there is a good restaurant in town or something.

Any suggestions would be welcome on this!

I'd still go elderly. She's a nurse so ask her something that it would be reasonable to think she might be able to help you with, like where's the cafeteria etc. If she's interested but busy she can quickly ask her personal question and then you can get down to business (I probably wouldn't run the full GALNUC though, maybe just NUC). It's very possible that she'll be too busy to engage you and excuse herself from the conversation--realize that you're not going to win them all.
