UNIT 4 JANE JOHNSON

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 everyday. When she is on an early shift, she goes on duty at 7a.m
and comes off duty at 3 p.m. Late shifts start at 2 p.m. and finish at 10p.m. Jane does not like late
shifts.
Jane always goes to work by bus when she is on an early shift. The bus stops outside the out-
patients’ department. When she is on a late shift, Jane usually walks from her home to the hospital.
When she comes off duty at 10p.m she is normally quite tired and takes the bus home. Sometimes
she goes to the taxi-rank outside the main entrance of the hospital and goes home by taxi.
Where does Jane Johnson work? She is a student nurse so she doesn’t work in the ward everyday.
On certain days she has to attend lectures on general nursing, anatomy, physiology, hygiene and
various other subjects.
She wants to pass the State Final examinations 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.
