After a short period of catharsis, Li Yanan quickly adjusted her mentality. She looked at Zheng Hong's collar that was wet from her crying and looked embarrassed.

"Head nurse, I'm sorry to have soiled your clothes."

Facing Li Yanan's apology, Zheng Hong didn't seem to care. She waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. How do you feel now?"

Zheng Hong was smiling and approachable, which made Li Yanan feel more cordial. She shook her head and said with a smile: "Head nurse, I'm fine."

"That's good." Zheng Hong nodded, and while arranging Li Yanan's clothes, she said: "In this way, you won't have to go to class tonight, go back and have a good rest for two days, and go out for a walk if you have time.

Just relax."

Zheng Hong's suggestion stunned Li Yanan on the spot. She knew the current emergency situation and the serious shortage of staff, which kept their nurses busy almost every day.

Take Li Yanan herself as an example. She has been working for seven consecutive days, and this seven-day shift is not the traditional eight-to-five day shift with a two-hour break at noon.

Instead, they worked day and night, working 10 hours in the day shift and 15 hours in the night shift. They worked 65 hours a week, which is comparable to the 996,007 people today.

If someone is sick and asks for leave at this time, it is very likely that they will have to work 24 hours a day, that is, they will work in the hospital 24 hours a day.

However, the work of medical staff is slightly different from that of other industries. They face life and death. They must remain calm at all times when facing diseases. They must be highly nervous when rescuing patients and cannot slack off at all.

In this environment, wanting to take off work means that others must sacrifice their own little rest time and devote more energy to the task.

When you work in a hospital, especially on the clinical frontline, you cannot leave people in each position 24 hours a day. This is a guarantee of life. As the saying goes, every department is like a carrot, and you may not be able to transfer to any department you leave.

"Head nurse, let's leave. I'm fine and don't need to rest." Under such circumstances, Li Yanan categorically refused to accept Zheng Hong's proposal.

"Until now, you are still thinking about others." Zheng Hong sighed. Although Li Yanan did not explain the reason for the refusal, Zheng Hong had worked as a head nurse for so many years and could see Li Yanan's thoughts at a glance.

"I'm really fine. People always have to go through something. This is what the head nurse told us during the meeting." Li Yanan said with her fingers.

Faced with these remarks, Zheng Hong was almost offended by her: "You really have selective memory. You don't listen to what you should. This time, it's not your fault."

Seeing that Zheng Hong still insisted on her decision, Li Yanan began to hesitate: "But head nurse, it's already very late. It would be a bit cruel to call people from home to work overtime."

"Besides, it's not safe to walk at night, so I think it's better to forget it."

Zheng Hong laughed out loud after hearing this, "I didn't expect you to be quite thoughtful at such a young age. Don't worry, the world will continue to turn around without you."

"Besides, I never planned to ask them to come from home to work overtime."

"Don't let them come over?" Li Yanan frowned slightly, and after hearing Zheng Hong's words, his expression became a little strange.

"Is it possible, head nurse, do you want to..."

Li Yanan seemed to have thought of something. Just when she was about to say it, Zheng Hong nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, I will work the night shift tonight. You can just go back later."

"Let the head nurse work the night shift?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yanan was still stunned on the spot. Although she was prepared in her heart, the moment Zheng Hong said it, she still felt a little incredible.

After seeing her shocked expression, Zheng Hong couldn't help but said: "Why, in your eyes, does the head nurse not even have to work?"

"I didn't..." Li Yanan shook his head quickly.

"Then do you think the head nurse is not capable of working the night shift?" Zheng Hong said again.

"No." Li Yanan shook his head again.

"Since not, then you should be obedient and go home. I'm here tonight, so what are you worried about?"

Zheng Hong blocked Li Yanan's words without giving her a chance to find a reason.

At this point, Li Yanan could only accept the arrangement of the head nurse and go to the dressing room to change out of the nurse's uniform.

As she took a break to change clothes, Wu Xiangdong was a little worried. After all, the head nurse Zheng would retire in a year or two. Now she was working such a high-intensity night shift. If anything happened, it would be too much.

Seeing this, Zheng Hong deliberately said with a stern face: "Why, do you think I'm too old to survive the night shift?"

"That's not true. Nurse Zheng's energy is the most powerful among the people I have ever seen." When Wu Xiangdong saw her momentum, it was indeed unlike those of older people.

"Of course, even though I'm two rounds older than you, it's okay to work several night shifts in a row. You must know that being older also has its benefits, and that is less sleep."

Faced with Wu Xiangdong's insincere praise, Zheng Hong just smiled and was not prepared to expose him.

But Wu Xiangdong knew in his heart that no one wanted to work the night shift. After all, staying up late was too heavy a burden on the body, especially on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, and it was not possible to recover after a day or two of rest.

The reason why Zheng Hong did this was that she felt sorry for the soldiers under her command.

Thinking of this, Wu Xiangdong's expression gradually became serious, and he said solemnly: "Mr. Zheng, on behalf of Yanan, I would like to thank you in advance."

After that, he bowed deeply to Zheng Hong, because he knew that Zheng Hong was completely worthy of his respect.

"Why are you doing such a stupid thing?" Zheng Hong was confused by his sudden bow.

"It's just what you feel, don't worry about it." Wu Xiangdong scratched his head, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, but then he suddenly thought of something, and he happened to take advantage of this time to discuss it with Zheng Hong.

"Nurse Zheng, after what happened today, I think our emergency department really needs to bring in another group of people."

"After all, our emergency situation is special. It is too dangerous for one person to be on duty. There is no way to ensure our own safety."

Speaking of this, Zheng Hong's expression became serious, but compared to Wu Xiangdong's proposal, she was also a little anxious about this matter.

"I have considered the issue you mentioned a long time ago and have also approached the Nursing Department, Human Resources Department and other departments, but after all this time, no one is willing to come."

Zheng Hong naturally knew the risks of single post, but no matter how hard she tried, the final result was in vain, which left her with nothing to do.

Wu Xiangdong heard this, thought for a while and then said: "Actually, in the final analysis, the whole hospital does not recognize our emergency department. It feels that apart from the high risks, there is no development prospect or room for promotion."

"Yes, that's right." Zheng Hong nodded and said, "Your summary is so right. Most people in the hospital do think so."
