Haoyang was the first to suggest, "I think we could add a few more nurses."
He frowned slightly, his eyes filled with worry and thought: "There are only five nurses in the entire hospital right now. If everyone needs to be taken care of, they will be overwhelmed."
"Even if there's only one nurse guide left at the outpatient clinic, there's still a shortage of staff to collect fees and run the pharmacy."
"The patients on the second floor also need nurses to look after and observe them, not to mention the surgeries on the third floor, which also require nurses to cooperate."
Lin Lin nodded slightly and quickly wrote down Haoyang's suggestion in the notebook with the pen in his hand.
Her eyes revealed a thoughtful look as she mentally weighed the feasibility of this proposal.
After all, adding nurses means more labor costs, but from the perspective of the long-term development of the hospital, this may be a necessary move.
At this time, the office was silent, and everyone was thinking about Haoyang's proposal.
Suddenly, a dissenting voice broke the silence.
"Add more nurses? That's not that easy!" The speaker was Zhao Ming.
"The hospital's budget is relatively tight, so where is the extra money to hire more nurses?"
"Furthermore, not to mention funding, how can we recruit enough nurses in a short period of time to keep the hospital running normally?"
He frowned, a look of worry on his face.
Haoyang listened to Zhao Ming's words, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he patiently explained, "I understand your concerns, but we can't just look at the immediate costs."
"If there are not enough nurses, it may lead to a decline in the quality of medical services and affect patient satisfaction."
"Moreover, increasing the number of nurses can also share the workload of other medical staff and improve the work efficiency of the entire hospital."
Zhao Ming remained unmoved. He insisted on his point of view: "Optimizing the workflow is the key to solving the problem."
“We can redistribute nurses’ work responsibilities and make them more efficient.”
"At the same time, we can also consider having staff from other departments assist nurses when necessary."
"Besides, I didn't agree with opening the third floor to public use from the beginning. This would only greatly increase the hospital's maintenance costs..."
The argument between the two became more and more heated, and the atmosphere in the meeting room became tense.
Lin Lin looked at them, feeling somewhat helpless.
She knew that both sides had their own reasons, but a balance must be found on this issue.
Just when the atmosphere reached a stalemate, a young nurse named Xiao Li stood up.
She said softly, "I think Haoyang's suggestion makes sense."
"Our hospital originally had quite a few patients, and at the time, it was just Director Lin who was handling it all."
"And based on the increase in the number of departments, there is a clear upward trend in the number of patients seeking medical services at the Special Investigation Bureau and those in Area Z for childbirth."
"Without increasing manpower, it will be difficult for us to ensure the quality and efficiency of medical services."
She paused and continued, "Although the work hasn't started yet, it's foreseeable that if we don't add more nurses, we might be so busy sometimes that we don't even have time to drink water, which will also affect patients' medical experience."
Then another nurse echoed, "Yes, we are busy every day and have almost no time to rest."
"If we can add a few more nurses, we can take better care of each patient and improve the quality of care."
Hearing this, Lin Lin's tense expression relaxed a little.
She nodded, showing that she understood the hard work of the nurses.
However, the head nurse still insisted on her point of view. She said: "However, adding nurses needs to consider the cost issue. The hospital's funds are limited. If too many nurses are added at once, it will put a lot of pressure on the finances."
At this time, Nan Nansheng also expressed his own views: "I think we should look at this issue from a long-term perspective."
"Although adding nurses may increase some expenses now, as the hospital develops, the business volume will inevitably continue to expand."
"If we wait until then to add nurses, the staffing shortage will be irreparable."
"For example: the normal operation of the hospital, patients' views on Ankang Hospital, etc."
As both sides insisted on their own opinions, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Finally, Lin Lin clapped his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet.
She said: "Every one of you makes a very valid point. This is indeed an issue that requires careful consideration."
"But we can't just look at immediate benefits; we also have to consider future development."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Ming and said, "I know you are worried about the cost, but we cannot ignore the intensity of the nurses' work."
"Maybe we can try adding some nurses first, see how it goes, and then make further decisions."
After listening to Lin Lin's words, Zhao Ming was silent for a moment. He understood that what Lin Lin said made sense.
Finally, he nodded in agreement.
Seeing Zhao Ming agree, Lin Lin breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the others.
"That's all for today, let's disperse!" Lin Lin announced loudly, "Everyone go back and rest early. We'll have a meeting in the security building conference room at 8:00 tomorrow morning."
Her voice echoed in the room, giving people a sense of majesty and irresistible power.
Everyone stood up and started to pack their things.
Some people murmured, but most remained silent.
They knew now was not the time to discuss it.
When everyone left, Lin Lin was left alone in the office.
She sat quietly in the chair, thinking about her next plan.
At eight o'clock the next morning, the sun shone through the clouds onto the security building, casting a golden glow over the entire structure.
However, at this moment, the conference room in the security building was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if even the air had become heavy.
Everyone had a serious expression on their faces, and their eyes revealed anticipation and anxiety about the upcoming meeting.
Lin Lin stood on the podium, her eyes swept across the crowd below, and a strong sense of responsibility surged in her heart.
She knew that today's meeting was crucial to the planning of the new hospital, and every decision would affect its future development direction.
"Good morning, everyone!" Lin Lin's voice was clear and powerful, echoing throughout the conference room.
Her tone was firm and confident, moving. "In response to the opinions and questions raised last night, I have sorted them out and, after careful consideration, have made the following decision."
Then, Lin Lin introduced the planning arrangements for the new hospital in detail.
