Reading

In a hospital

I am a nurse. I work at a therapeutic hospital. A hospital is a place where people receive medical care. A person who is receiving medical care is called a patient.

Here are some reasons why people go to hospital:

• To have tests to learn why they may not be healthy;

• To get medical treatment they cannot get a home;

• To get emergency help when they become ill or severely hurt.

Many doctors and nurses work at the hospital. Our hospital is very large. The nurses begin to take the patients temperature at 6 o'clock. They write it down in temperature charts. Then the nurses give the patients medicines and carry out other prescriptions of the doctors. They open the windows and air the wards. The doctors come at 9 o'clock in the morning and begin to examine patients. As I am a ward nurse the doctor asks me about the condition of my patients. Sometimes I tell him that they are well. And sometimes I tell the doctor that the temperature of some of the patients is high and the doctor prescribes some new medicine or injections. I like my profession very much. I know that much of the nurse's work can be learnt by practice. So I am very attentive and try to observe any changes in a patient's condition.
