Alice has submitted her request for a transfer away from the neo-natal ward and Dr Laver. However, the ward is very short staffed – will Matron consent to the transfer?
| Matron: | So what’s brought on this request for a transfer Alice? |
| Alice: | Oh nothing in particular, Matron. |
| Matron: | You’ve been doing so well with the new borns. You really seem to have the knack with them. And we get great feedback about you from the parents too. |
| Alice: | I do enjoy that part of my job – you know, helping the mums and dads. |
| Matron: | So if you’re not unhappy, why do you want to get away from us all of a sudden? |
| Alice: | I just think I’d like to get more experience of different types of nursing. |
| Matron: | Aren’t you forgetting how varied the work is here on the children’s ward? I’m sorry but we’re incredibly short-staffed at the moment as you know. So I think I’ll have to turn down your request for now. |
