Episode 154: A change of scenery

    Matron: So what's brought on this request for a transfer

    Alice?

    Alice: Oh nothing in particular, Matron.

    Matron: You've been doing so well with the new borns. You

    really seem to have the knack with them. And we get

    great feedback about you from the parents too.

    Alice: I do enjoy that part of my job – you know, helping

    the mums and dads.

    Matron: So if you're not unhappy, why do you want to get

    away from us all of a sudden?

    Alice: I just think I'd like to get more experience of

    different types of nursing.

    Matron: Aren't you forgetting how varied the work is here on

    the children's ward? I'm sorry but we're incredibly

    short-staffed at the moment as you know. So I think

    I'll have to turn down your request for now.
