Chapter 73 Nurse Examination: Successfully Entering the Health Center
The health clinics on Dongming Island were in poor condition. They couldn't treat serious illnesses, requiring passengers to take a ferry to the other side of the coast. However, they were responsible for treating minor illnesses.
Cen Yan applied for a nursing position, and aside from other things, she must be proficient in basic skills such as injections and IV infusions.
Dean Huang brought over a practice dummy that was used in nursing schools and placed it flat on a table to the side.
"Here is a 'patient' and some medicine. This test mainly assesses your ability to give injections and infusions. If you do well, you will pass the test."
Dean Huang thought that Cen Yan, a young girl, would be nervous, but to his surprise, Cen Yan was calm and composed, and gracefully took the mask next to her and put it on.
Next, check the infusion set, medicine, disinfectant, tourniquet, etc.
They also meticulously checked whether the packaging was intact and whether the medicine was within its expiration date.
"What's the patient's name? Is it Zhang San? Okay, let's disinfect now."
Cen Yan walked to the bedside, checked the name and other information of "Zhang San" who was lying on the bed, and explained the purpose of the procedure to him to reduce the patient's tension.
Next, select the injection vessel and disinfect it in a spiral motion with iodine solution centered on the puncture point.
Cen Yan had practiced this procedure countless times during her time at nursing school; she was extremely familiar with it.
She showed no sign of nervousness, holding the needle with the angle facing upwards, and slowly inserted it into the "patient's" skin.
After blood returns, insert a small amount of medication horizontally.
Finally, the needle was removed, and a cotton swab was used to stop the bleeding.
"Dean Huang, do I mean I've passed the assessment?"
"Passed, passed!" Dean Huang nodded vigorously. "Xiao Cen, your injection technique is even more steady than that of the head nurses in big hospitals. By the way, you also know English? I saw you glance at the medicine bottle next to you and know what it was."
Cen Yan smiled and nodded, "My family used to be quite well-off. I would listen to the radio every day while eating breakfast. Sometimes I would accidentally tune into an English channel, and over time I learned a little bit."
"Understood." These days, listening to foreign channels is illegal and criminal, an act that would get you labeled a capitalist traitor. Dean Huang tacitly approved of Cen Yan's carelessness.
Cen Yan asked, "Dean Huang, I passed the assessment. When can I start work?"
"Dongming Island is facing a severe shortage of medical resources, especially medical personnel! Xiao Cen, if possible, I hope you can start work tomorrow!"
“No problem.” Cen Yan was also happy and readily agreed.
When Qi Jingchuan finished smoking outside and came up to find Cen Yan, he found her walking out chatting and laughing with Dean Huang.
Seeing Cen Yan and Dean Huang's animated expressions, the man raised an eyebrow and asked knowingly, "What was the result?"
Cen Yan gave him a look, letting him guess for himself, and Dean Huang seemed overjoyed.
"Commander Qi, you've really done our health center a huge favor this time! Comrade Cen Yan's nursing skills are no less than our most senior head nurse. I've already discussed it with Comrade Cen Yan, and she'll start work tomorrow!"
Qi Jingchuan felt honored, but his expression remained unchanged. He nodded to Dean Huang and said, "Thank you for your care, Dean Huang. I'm sorry to trouble you."
"No trouble at all. I'll take Comrade Cen Yan to register. We need to prepare name tags and nurse uniforms. Please wait a little longer, Commander Qi."
Dean Huang beckoned to Cen Yan, "Come with me."
Cen Yan followed Dean Huang to the office to fill out the onboarding documents, and then went to meet Qi Jingchuan to go home.
Unexpectedly, as he was going downstairs, he bumped into a woman.
Before Cen Yan could react, the man shouted loudly.
"Are you blind?! Don't you have eyes? Can't you see someone? Huh? It's you!?"
