I found Bailey in a gallery.
"I am ready for my assignment," I said to her.
"I want to tell you something," she said looking at me. "I know that you are the kid of the famous doctor. I know that you are trying to not allow your mother to outshine you so don't."
I did not know what to say to that.
"I want you to go find Doctor Burke and he will take you over from there," she said. "The last time that I checked he was at the nurse's station on the fourth floor."
I walked out still thinking about what Bailey had said to me. I walked up to the fourth floor and saw Doctor Burke leaning up against the nurse's station.
"Doctor Burke," I said. "Doctor Bailey has sent me to come and help you."
"Good," he said handing me a bunch of charts. "Read each one of this then fill them out. Then room 401, 403, and 409 need a new IV tubes. It you can not do that then page a nurse. I will be in surgery, when you get done with that come find me and I will give you something else to do."
I took the charts and found an empty exam room and started to fill them out. It took me about 30 minutes to fill them out. Then I got up and brought them back to the nurse's station.
"Thank you Doctor Grey," the nurse said. "I am nurse Jackie if you need any help with the IV tubes."
"I would like if you came with me just to make sure," I said.
She smiled at me. The smile said everything to me. I could tell that she was into me. "I will defiantly come," she said.
I walked to the first room and went in.
"Good morning Mrs. Ingram," I said to the lady in the bed. "My name is Doctor Grey and I am here to put in a new IV tube."
"Go for it Doctor Grey," the lady said.
I bent over and started to remove it. I was done in about ten minutes.
"If you will please come and check it," I said to Jackie.
She walked over and looked at my work. "Not bad Doctor Grey," she said smiling at me.
"Alright," I said. "I am going to do the other two people."
I walked out and went to room 403. The man in the bed looked up at me.
"Where is Doctor Burke," he asked me.
"He is surgery," I said to the man. "Right now I am going to be your Doctor, Mr. Thomas."
"I do not think so," he said. "You look like you just started working here. Either get Doctor Burke in here or no one will touch me."
"How about I get a nurse that has worked with Doctor Burke," I said to him. "Will she be allowed to change your tube."
"Ya the nurse can," he said smirking. "As long as it is Nurse Jackie."
"I will go get her," I said walking out of his room.
I almost ran into Jackie on my way to get her. "Patent in room 403 is not going to allow anyone but Doctor Burke or you change the tube."
"Why does that pig always want me," she asked out loud.
"If you want I will stand in the corner to make sure he does not do anything to you," I said.
"No go and finish up the tubes," she said. "But if I scream come get me."
"It would be my pleasure," I said to her.
I went down to room 409 and changed the tube without a hitch. I went back to the nurse's station and found Jackie .
"So I guess it went ok," I said to her.
"I almost had to put him to sleep but that would not be smart," she said.
I put on my smile that meant that I was laughing on the inside. She was smart and funny.
"Now I must go find Doctor Burke," I said to her.
Before I was halfway to the elevator I heard my name.
I turned to look at Jackie.
"Ya," I said back to her.
She came walking over to me. "I was wondering if you wanted to get a beer after work."
"That would be good," I said to her. "I get off at 7."
"I get off at 7 also," she said. "I will meet you in the lobby."
I nodded my head. "One more thing Jackie," I said as she went back to station. "Call me Jordan."
She smiled the smile that really got to me. I got onto the elevator.
