Reading and vocabuLaRy

A big hospital is like a small town; it needs thousands of people to make it work. All these
people are organized into teams and each person in each team has a rank and often a
specialism. In the
past, the health care team’s chain of command was simple: doctors made decisions and gave
senior nurses orders. Senior nurses then instructed junior nurses, and so on. Things are
changing. In many countries nurses have much more responsibility than they once had.
One thing is not changing; it is still a doctor who is in charge of a patient’s treatment. In Britain,
that doctor is called a consultant. Next in line to the consultant is the registrar. Consultants and
registrars train the junior doctors who are called house officers or interns. Junior doctors work
the same long, unsocial hours that nurses do on the wards. The most senior nurses are nursing
officers; they are administrators. Then come ward managers who supervise staff nurses and
students.
It is not only doctors and nurses who deliver treatment and care; there are many other specialists

Example Personal Profile

When I was a child I wanted to be an accountant because mathematics was my favourite

subject at school. I was no good at science and not very good with people, so I thought that
nursing was not for me. But when I was sixteen my grandmother got very ill. I watched the
nurses care for her as she slowly died, and I realized that I wanted to be like them.

When I left school I applied to train as a nurse. A training college accepted me and I started
the course two years ago. I am still training and getting experience. I know that nursing is
not right for everyone, but personally I love it.

For the past two months I have been working in a children’s ward. It’s a wonderful
experience and I’m going to specialize in paediatrics as soon as I can. I’m ambitious and I
want to go as high in my chosen career as possible.

• 1. why you became a nurse

The reason I want to become a nurse

Previously, both of my parents had a very severe disease. Until the doctor talks,
there is no hope of living again, but I am sure that the doctors and nurses there can
definitely make my parents come back to life. The nurses there also always support our
family to always endeavor to Allah SWT. The nurse who was always there when my parents
lay weak in the bed, the nurse who taught me how to bathe my parents when my parents
couldn't go to the bathroom.

After that the doctors and nurses prepared to perform an operation on my parents,
and all the families had gathered to read prayers so that the operation would run
smoothly. My parents' second operation lasted 3 hours.

After that the doctor and nurse came out of the operating room to tell me how the
operation was going, and it turned out that my parents' operation was smooth and there
was no obstacle whatsoever. Then that's why I wanted to become a nurse, I wanted to be
able to take care of my parents like the previous nurses who had done a lot to my family.

2. what you are doing now

What I do now is study, study, help my parents at home, work, and sell. my father once
said never give up to reach your goals from the beginning. if you are tired, take a break
first, don't think too much about the world. also think of the afterlife because after you

achieve your goals. surely you will forget the foundation of belief (religion) you have
built by your parents.

3. Your career plans

My future career plan is to be the head of a hospital ward, I really want to open an
orphanage foundation, I really want to open a home care practice, and make all my
family happy. Maybe according to many people dreaming too much, but my parents often
say dream as high as possible, but after reaching it, don't ever leave your main
foundation and make people around you happy. because that's what makes you
successful.
