Thank you for the authors that have favourited this story so far.
Chapter Two:
Lily arrives at the Chief of the hospital's door, sweating bullets.
"Okay, here we go." Knocking on the door
"Come in." He is calling out
"Hi, my name is Lily Garcia. I'm the girl from the Pennsylvania hospital you wanted transferred." Walking slowly in
"Of course, we are anxious for you to start working here at our hospital. Please take a seat Lily."
"Thank you." Fidgeting and looking around the room
"Oh don't be nervous." Not looking up from his paperwork
"Excuse me." Stopping to look at him
"Lily…" Putting his pen down
"… You don't have to be nervous. One of our best surgeons recommended you, so you don't need to be nervous. We only hire the best of the best here. For starters, I'm Chief Rollins, welcome to the best hospital in New York. I will need you to fill out some forms about yourself and experience." "Okay, one question, am I going to be actually working today?" Lily getting a pen out
"Yes and no." Chief Rollins is getting the paperwork today
"Our schedule for you today is meeting me, paperwork, a tour of the hospital, and a set up with an actually pediatric nurse in the hospital for the day. We always pair our new nurse with an employee, so you can get the lay of the land. Oh and the tour is a huge chunk of schedule because of how big our hospital is."
"How long does it usually take, may I ask?" Lily questioning
"It is depending on the questions and the person. The more questions asked, the more time it takes and if the person likes to see every detail. On average it usually takes about two hours, give or take." Chief Rollins passing the forms to Lily
"I will leave you, so I can confirm your partner for today while you fill out the paperwork. I will be back in twenty minutes." Getting up and leaving
20 minutes later:
"Wow a PHD in Harvard plus Valedictorian." Looking at all the awards of Chief Rollins Lily continuing to look around and sees an image on the other side of the wall.
"That is my beautiful family; they are my pride and joy. The reasons that picture is so huge and the only image on the wail is because they are the centre, only and huge part of my life." Chief Rollins speaking up
"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to ponder around your office." Lily startled
"It is fine. I see that you've finished the paperwork before I came back. Employees before you usually take the full 20 minutes or still working on them when I get back." Walking in beside her
"I just finished about 5 minutes ago. Some of it is the information from my previous job, so it was repetitive to me." Sitting down
"Well then, it now time for most of the employees best part of the first day. It is time for the tour of the hospital." Chief Rollins saying
"One question, how many years have you had your PHD for?" Lily questioning
"For about 3 years, I got my Master 4 years ago, I got my Bachelors 7 years ago and attended medical school about 20 years ago. It was a long process, but it is worth it at the end." Chief Rollins looking at all his accomplishments
"Well, shall we start the tour." Putting an arm out
"Yes we shall." Lily smiling
About 2 hours later:
"Wow, seeing the hospital from just the lobby doesn't due justice than the tour." Lily shocked
"It really doesn't because every services has its own sections with rooms, OR, and equipment. The biggest services that we cover are Emergency/ Trauma and Pediatrics. Cardio and Neuro are the second ones while the others are still important, but we don't get as much as these four."
"So that is one of the reasons, beside my skills, that you transferred me?" Lily pondering
"It is one of the reasons, but the main component is that you were referred by one of our surgeons. Our staffs here is a big family, we like to support each other and encourage any help we get. Most importantly is that we give credit where credit is due. So, when a staff member recommends someone, we take that person seriously as a employee to hire. I will give you a piece of advice, getting a recommendation is the easy part, but proving that you are allowed to be here is a different story. Now do you want to meet your partner for today?" Lightening the mood while Lily is still processing the information Chief Rollins said
"Don't worry Lily you'll do fine. We just need to see your skills for ourselves, but when you sign those forms you became an employee."
"Thanks, so is he/she the head of Pediatric?"
"She is a veteran nurse because the head is off today. The veteran and head of Cardio are helping each other with a certain patient, but she is not busy to help you. She took time off to give you a low down on what you're actually be doing. You will be assisting her with everything for today and then tomorrow you will be administering. Just think of this day as a refresher day before you actually work for real."
Lily and Chief Rollins are now standing at the nurse table in Peds waiting for the veteran nurse. She finally comes and starts introducing her to Lily.
"Well, have fun and don't scare our new Peds nurse on her first day, okay." Chief Rollins saying
"Don't worry I will." Veteran nurse giggling Lily is going back to her nervous state "Lily, please stop worrying. She is harmless, well, for the most part. Little tip, if you impress her you will impress anyone here." Chief Rollins smiling
"Come on Lily let us go save babies and children." Veteran nurse smiling As they are going to the children wing, a man comes up to Chief Rollins.
"Who's the new girl?"
"That is our new Peds nurse, Lily Garcia."
"So, that is who Phil was talking about?" "Yup Roman, she is the best Peds nurse we have."
"Don't let her hear you say that, she thinks she is the best." Roman saying
"Oh don't worry and you will not say that to her either." Warning Roman
"Man, when did she become the Chief of this hospital?" Roman chuckling
"When this happened." Showing Roman
"Ah, any regrets."
"Never and don't worry you'll have it again if you want." Padding Roman's back
"I don't know, Bella really needs to accept her if I do. She is my only girl in my life right now." Smiling Lily
"So, most of the children patients are between 4- 6 years olds while we mostly get neonates for babies. The babies are children are usually in separated wings unless we have family patients admitted." Veteran nurse saying
"I know should not ask this, but what is wrong with the certain patient you're working on." Lily questioning
"Chief Rollins told you, didn't he?" Rubbing her chin
"Yeah, I hope I didn't get him in trouble." Getting nervous again
"Don't worry he like to brag a bit, especially about me. The patient has been our patient since she was born. She has mostly spent the most of her first 2 years in and out of the hospital. She's the hospital's most valued patient, so we only have the best working on her. Roman, Chief Rollins, me, and the Head of Peds are the only ones that take care of her." Veteran nurse
"Roman, who is he?" Lily asking "Oh, he is the head of Cardio and the best doctor we currently have on the floor." Looking at the charts
"Currently?" Lily having an eyebrow up
"Well, the best doctor was Chief Rollins, but he usually doesn't operate unless necessary. 'When necessary' means when Roman is not available."
"Ah, well I can't wait to meet him." Lily excited
"You can meet him at lunch, he usually sits with Chief Rollins and me."
"Thank you, but this break I really want to set up everything in my apartment. I know it sounds boring, but I like to really settle in before doing anything else."
"I get it, maybe next time." Veteran nurse smiling
I am sorry if the number for getting a PHD, Masters, Bachelors and how long medical school is wrong. I looked it up and try to calculate it. Please message me or pm if it is wrong. Thank you. Review
