Hold my hand

This is my ward

Here we are again surprise surprise. I'm starting another book and this book is going to be a book that sees us into the new year! I am excited to see where this book takes Jac and Fletch too. If I'm updating too slow then just tell me to hurry up, I have a tendency to do that 😂 ~lucy

(Jac)

"Oh the single ladies, now put you hands up! Up in the club, just woke up, doing my own little thing..." I stood in the doorway of the staff room watching Fletch bop around the room making a cup of tea listening to the radio. "FLETCH! Can you turn it down and shut up singing, you don't even know the words." He instantly turned the radio off. "Mikey won't be very impressed, I'm the next Beyoncé he thinks!" "Has he been hiding under a rock? You sound awful." "How lovely to see you this morning Jac, your presence always makes me feel happy and at ease!" I glared at him. "You need to work on your sarcasm as-well!" I went to pick up some papers from the table beside him. "Do you want a cuppa?" "I'm perfectly fine thank you, some of us have work that we would rather be getting on with. Maybe if my nurses weren't dancing around in the staff room, I wouldn't be so busy." "Ah, but that's where your wrong Naylor. My shift doesn't start until 10." He said it so smug but as he pointed to the digital clock on the radio, he froze. It was 10:13. "Have any more snide remarks Fletch?" "No." "Go and do your job will you and stop being so stupid!" "Yes your majesty anything you wish. And one more thing Jac, I ain't one of your nurses. I'm the head of nursing around here. Look, I even get to wear a tie!" He lifted his tie up from his neck and shoved it in my face. "I swear to god Fletch, get your tie out of my face before I tell Hansen that your not ready to become the head of nursing, we don't need someone that is as Immature as you to be giving orders to other people when you can't act your age." "Your just not used to people not being scared of you. We're gonna be best friends Naylor, I can already sense it!" He hugged me tight around my shoulders and I shoved him off, wiping my scrubs down from the contact of his hands. I swear, I can't deal with him for 5 minutes, how am I supposed to work with him. After I collected my things from the staff room, I walked down two flights of stairs, bumped into 2 incompetent porters and helped an old lady get into a wheelchair just to get to Hansen's office. "Come in." Hansen said as I stood banging on the door. I swung the door open with full force. "He's gone, in a couple of hours." "Who is gone?" "That immature child you send to work on my ward." "Ah, that will be nurse fletcher. I'm afraid that Fletch is the best nurse in this hospital and is the most competent that we have." "We must have a shortage of nurses then. I can't work with him, I refuse to." "Well, that is up to you ms Naylor but the problems you were having with the nurses will only get worse, give him a chance." I slammed my way back out of Hansen's office and up to the ward. When I got there, all I could see is the confusion on the nurses faces. "Nicky, what's going on!" "Fletch has the nurses on a new schedule, he said it will make Darwin run a bit smoother." "I'll see about that!" I snatched the blue folder of the nurse plan from Nicky and Marched towards Fletch. "Care to explain this?" I shouted, shoving the file into his hands. "Would you like to talk about it in my office?" I could tell that he was finding this highly entertaining. He led the way to his room and I slammed the door behind me. "What is wrong with you, you have been here for 1 day and your already making up your own rules. This is my ward whether you like it or not and we are not following your ridiculous plan." "Well, I'm sorry Naylor but your gonna have to, a part of my contract is to make the schedule for the nurses rounds so I did." "But it makes no sense Fletch. Your doing nurse checks when bay 4 and 7 are having bloods and bay 2 has an ultrasound when the nurses are reviewing patient notes." "Yes, I know. The times of them things have been changed as well." "You are unbelievable. I am not one of your friends or one of your jokey buffoons from aau. We are professionals here nurse fletcher and my way goes.I'm a Surgeon, your a nurse, thats how it works." "Well, this is how it's gonna be Jac so you may as well get used to it. It'll be easier for you to handle anyways." He pushed pass me through the doorway and exited his office and back onto the ward, helping a patient get back into bed. "You'll be gone by the end of the day, just you see." "That's up to you to decide but I thought you said you wanted help." "I would never say such a thing , I never need help." "Well maybe you need to start realising that you do because as soon as you realise that, the sooner you will accept the new way of doing things which is so much easier. "Mr Murphy, please get back in bed." Fletch said, running off to go get him, leaving me by myself. I can't work with fletcher, he gonna have to go!
