The Surgical Ward
A. READING
Jane Johnson works in a surgical ward in a 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 at 3 pm late shifts start at 2
pm 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 stops outside the outpatient department. When she in on a
late shift, Jane generally walks from her home to hospital. When she comes off
duty at 10 p.m., she is usually rather tired, and takes the bus home.
Sometime she goes to the taxi –rank outside the main entrance of the
hospital and goes home by taxi. Jane is not a qualified nurse. She is a student
nurse, so she does not work in the ward every day. On certain days, she has to
attend lectures on general nursing, anatomy and physiology, hygiene and various
subjects. She wants to pass the final examinations and become a state registered
nurse. As a state registered nurse she becomes a staff nurse and can, in time,
become a nursing officer.
