Monday 6th February, 4:00pm Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital.

Nicole sat at the nurse's station and looked at the clock. She had an hour until her shift ended. The atmosphere on her ward had died down since the last emergency came through. A family of four had suffered from Carbon monoxide poisoning. Luckily for them the mother woke up from a severe pain in her side and slight nausea. She tried to wake her husband and failed. After failing to wake up her children, she called for emergency services. If she hadn't of woken up, the family wouldn't have survived.

Nicole finished her nurse's report and closed her folder. It was defiantly quieter, especially without her chatty friend, Evie, around.

Her shift ended 30 minutes ago.

"Finished your report?" A voice asked from the other side of the desk.

It took a while for Nicole to realise that someone was speaking to her. "Oh sorry, Danny, I was miles away. Erm, yeah, I've finished my report, finally. I'm going to have to check on the Howard family soon. Could you do me a favour? Could you help out?" she asked her colleague.

"Sure. What happened with the mother?" Danny leaned on the desk.

"The pain that woke her up was caused by acute appendicitis. So she's been moved to the care of Dr Williams."

Almost immediately an alarm sounded to signify that one of the patients were in distress.

Nicole and Danny ran to the room that housed the patient. Upon entering they saw a young man convulsing on the floor.

"I pressed t-the alarm. H-He fell to the ground and began to have a fit," one of the patients in the room explained.

"Danny, page Dr Malone quickly," Nicole ordered. She turned to the other patients in the room, "How long has he been like this?"

"He's been like this for about 30 seconds."

Danny left the room to do as she asked, while Nicole tended to the patient. She grabbed a small rubber ring from the cabinet and sat down by the patient. After checking that his airway was clear, Nicole inserted the rubber ring between the patient's teeth to stop him from biting his tongue. She then turned him onto his side and held onto his arms and head to stop him from injuring himself.

It wasn't long before Danny returned to the scene with Dr Malone in tow.

"How long has he been convulsing?" the Doctor asked.

"All together about 3 minutes. One of the patients raised the alarm." Nicole still held on as the patient's convulsions began to slow down.

Once he had stopped, Dr Malone, Nicole and Danny carried him back to his bed.

"Ok, you two. I've got him now."

"Ok Doc." Danny led Nicole out of the room. "We better get on and do our checks on the Howard family."

As soon as Danny closed the door behind them a female voice made itself known over the PA. "This is a staff announcement. Could nurse Jackson please report to Dr Lierman's office please? That's nurse Jackson to Dr Lierman's office. Thank you."

"Nikki, you go ahead. I'll get on do the checks." Danny put his hand on her shoulder.

"You're so sweet. Thanks, Dan." With that Nicole left her colleague to see her boss.

"My dear Penelope, are you sure about this? I don't want to get her hopes up only to be let down."

"She will not. My friend is interested in hiring her. Of course she'll have time to think about it and see the facilities in which she will be working in. She'll also have the chance to meet the rest of the personnel," Lady Penelope explained.

"Well if she decides to leave us it would be a sad day. She is one of my best nurses and will be missed." Michael Lierman, clasped his hands in front of him. "But I've got to admit, it would be a good opportunity to work abroad. I wish that I had the chance to do that when I was younger."

"You are still young, my friend." Lady Penelope smiled.

They both looked at the door once they heard a knock from its direction.

"Come in," Dr Lierman answered.

Nicole slowly opened the door. "You wanted to see me?"

"Yes. Please come in and close the door."

Nicole did as she was asked and smiled towards Lady Penelope. Dr Lierman stood up and began his introductions.

"Nicole Jackson, this is my good friend Lady Penelope."

Lady Penelope stood up in front of Nicole smiled and held out her hand. "It's very nice to finally meet you Nicole. I've heard a lot about you from Dr Lierman."

Nicole accepted and returned the graceful handshake. "Pleased to meet you Lady Penelope. I hope it's all good things that Dr Lierman told you about me."

"Extremely good." Penelope took her seat once again. "He speaks highly of the work you've done in this hospital. Which is why I'm here to see you."

Nicole was surprised by the fact that Dr Lierman spoke highly of her work. So highly, that he spoke to Lady Penelope about it. "Me?"

"Yes you." Lady Penelope thought about where to begin. "I have a friend who is looking for extra medical staff. He asked me along with other friends of his to give him recommendations on whom to hire. As you might have seen, I was here last month talking to Dr Lierman about this opportunity for one of his nurses. We extensively read through the reports of his staff and were very pleased by yours."

"Thank you. So what is this opportunity and who is hiring? If you don't mind me asking."

"I don't mind at all. The employers name is Jeff Tracy and it's with his company Tracy..."

"Industries," Nicole finished. "I'm sorry to interrupt you. But that is a big and very successful company. I've not met anyone who hasn't heard of that company or of the man behind the company."

"Glad to know that you know of it and of Jeff Tracy." Lady Penelope smiled. "Well he is looking for medical staff and I passed on your name. He is -- as I am -- impressed by your work and interested in hiring you. He would like the chance to meet you and show you the facilities in which you'll be working. Of course you do not have to rush in your decision making."

"What do you think about it, Dr Lierman?" Nicole asked.

"Nikki, I've got to admit, I was surprised when Lady Penelope approached me with this news. As I have said countless of times to Lady Penelope, I think this is a very good opportunity and I wish that I had the chance." Dr Lierman smiled. "It's all down to you now."

"So when do I meet Mr Tracy?" Nicole queried.

"I will get in contact with him and tell him that you're interested. He'll arrange for one of his representatives to meet you and pick you up. As soon as I get more details, I'll let you know immediately." Lady Penelope stood up. "Unfortunately I must go. I have a very busy day."

Nicole stood up and shook Lady Penelope's hand again. "I must go also. I still have my shift to get through. It was nice meeting you and I'll look forward to hearing from you. I'll have to get some time off from work if I'm going to meet Mr Tracy."

They both looked at Dr Lierman, who laughed. "Of course I'll grant you some time off." He stood up and stood next to Lady Penelope.

"Well I better go. Thank you for letting me know about the job." Nikki smiled and left the room to go back to her job.
