LESSON 2

JANE JOHNSON

Jane Johnson works in a surgical ward in London hospital. Jane does shift work, so she does not go to work at
the same time every day. When she is on an early shift, she goes on duty at 7 a.m, and comes off duty at 3 p.m.
Late shifts start at 2 p.m, and finish at 10 p.m, Jane does not like late shift.

Jane always goes to work by bus when she is on an early shift. The bus stop outside the out-patient department.
When she is on a late shift, Jane generally walks from her home to hospital. When she comes off duty at 10 p.m,
she is usually tired, and takes the bus home. Sometimes she goes to the taxy-rank outside the main entrance of
the hospital and goes home by taxi.

Jane is not qualified nurse, she is a student, so she does not work in the ward every day. On certain days, she has
to attend lecturers on general nursing, anatomy and physiology, hygiene and various other subjects. She wants
to pass the state Final Examination and become a State Registered Nurse. As a State Registered Nurse, she
becomes a staff nurse and can in time, become a sister or even a nursing officer.
