My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1363: 540: Monsters of Super Talent, If Only We Could Keep Them_2

Although Zhou Can now occupies a respectable position, his lack of seniority and formal title creates limitations.

The authority he wields is currently quite restricted, necessitating time, consistent effort, and opportune moments for advancement.

His educational background presents the most significant obstacle to his swift progression.

If only he could reach a master's degree level, his current passive state would likely improve.

Fortunately, the preliminary results for the postgraduate entrance examination are on the verge of being released.

Securing a passing grade in this initial stage would virtually guarantee his admission into graduate studies.

"I've been loitering outside the operating room since a little after ten this morning, and I haven't had a bite to eat yet! So, I won't stand on ceremony!"

She chuckled, patting her growling stomach.

"Haha, I appreciate candidness. Come, let's head to the cafeteria."

Zhou Can escorted her to the cafeteria.

Qiao Yu had already arranged a meal for Zhou Can. Upon learning that this attractive lady was here seeking a position as a surgical nurse and would be joining Zhou Can’s team, Ma Xiaolan swiftly rose to prepare the meal.

After two years of dedicated training, Ma Xiaolan had transformed significantly from her initial impetuousness and arrogance.

One couldn't help but wonder about the state of her relationship with Du Leng.

Observing her consistently cheerful demeanor and genuine smiles, it's evident she's thriving. A woman basking in the glow of love truly shines differently.

Before long, Ma Xiaolan returned with the prepared meal.

"Here you go! Following our leader's established protocol, a drumstick is always added when treating someone to a meal. The cafeteria fare isn't exactly gourmet, so please make do."

She presented the tray to Jiang Wei.

"Thank you!"

Jiang Wei appeared slightly bashful.

After a nod of gratitude, she began eating with refined grace. Her eating was efficient, without pickiness, displaying no signs of being spoiled.

Zhou Can watched discreetly, his optimism about this prospective female nurse growing.

Following their meal, Zhou Can requested Qiao Yu and Ma Xiaolan to engage in conversation with Jiang Wei for a while longer. He then proceeded to relay this development to Director Lou.

Director Lou was in his office, leisurely sipping tea, softly humming a melody, and perusing some departmental performance metrics.

He was likely the most relaxed individual in the entire Emergency Department.

As the department's chief, numerous decisions, coordinative efforts, and application approvals rested upon his shoulders.

Furthermore, countless meetings demanded his attendance.

Consequently, expecting him to match the busyness of frontline doctors and nurses on duty was unrealistic.

"Xiao Zhou, I haven't seen you around for several days. I acquired a new batch of premium tea; I've brewed some for you to sample!" Director Lou expressed immense pleasure at Zhou Can's arrival.

He personally rose to prepare the tea for him.

With evident reluctance, he retrieved a packet of superior tea leaves from a securely locked drawer.

Zhou Can did not possess a particular fondness for tea connoisseurship; he held little interest in sampling diverse, fine teas. However, social etiquette dictated that leaders, to demonstrate deference, would often generously offer their most prized tea. Zhou Can would then reciprocate with an expression of delight and honor, meticulously savoring the brew and offering fabricated 'insights'.

This typically involved praising the tea's rarity and exquisite quality.

"Director Lou, I've come bearing excellent news today. Just moments ago, a nurse from another hospital resigned and sought me out, expressing a desire to join my team. This individual is remarkably capable..."

Zhou Can proceeded to outline the most salient points of Jiang Wei's profile.

"Remarkable! A Ph.D. from a prestigious overseas institution, preparing for postdoctoral research, and possessing extensive experience in a major hospital. We've truly stumbled upon a gem this time! To be completely honest, I find it almost unbelievable that such exceptional talent would choose to join our Emergency Department. Are her credentials indeed legitimate?"

Director Lou, amidst his evident excitement, harbored a degree of skepticism.

The reason for this doubt was that such a highly qualified individual had no apparent need to work at Tu Ya Hospital.

The notion that she was convinced solely by observing a live surgery broadcast by Zhou Can seemed unusual. Yet, the more extraordinary the talent, the more unconventional their motivations could be.

Occasionally, actions stem purely from conviction.

"The authenticity of her credentials can be verified by the HR department. I informed her that she must first report to the department leadership, and upon their approval, she can proceed with an interview tomorrow. At that time, I can assess her practical skills in the operating room to ascertain if she is merely for show or genuinely gifted."

Zhou Can did not entirely dismiss Director Lou's reservations.

However, based on his subtle observations, from Jiang Wei's discourse and certain subtle indicators she displayed, he felt she was being truthful.

"Very well, I will personally inform the HR department. Request her to submit her resume. Let HR conduct their due diligence. If her educational background proves authentic, we shall retain her, even if she initially proves to be just for appearances. Our Emergency Department is genuinely in dire need of such highly educated, top-tier professionals."

Director Lou placed considerable emphasis on this particular matter.

It's a rarity for the Emergency Department to recruit top-tier talent, let alone Ph.D. graduates from prestigious overseas universities; even those from top domestic institutions wouldn't typically consider joining the Emergency Department.

Most individuals vie for positions in departments with more influence and the promise of extensive developmental prospects.

The Emergency Department is known for its demanding nature and the propensity for blame; during periods of staff shortage, night shifts become exceptionally frequent, making it a post generally avoided.

Furthermore, in a large hospital such as Tu Ya, the Emergency Department is stratified into merely internal and external medicine, a rather basic arrangement.

Any individual with some level of experience can readily discern the low standing of the Emergency Department.

Conversely, some hospitals boast well-developed Emergency Departments that function almost as self-contained general hospitals. Their internal divisions are highly detailed, enabling direct patient admission and the execution of various treatments. This includes certain non-emergency surgeries or cases requiring specialist intervention, all of which can be managed within the emergency setting.

The unexpected arrival of such a highly qualified individual naturally explains Director Lou’s considerable excitement.

…

By the time Zhou Can concluded his work in the operating room that evening, Director Lou had already dispatched a voice message via WeChat.

He confirmed Jiang Wei’s educational background was legitimate, with all verifiable credentials being authentic. The overseas qualifications, which are often difficult to confirm, were also deemed likely genuine.

This indicated that a significant opportunity had genuinely presented itself to Zhou Can.

This top-tier talent was truly willing to resign and join Zhou Can’s team.

Zhou Can couldn't help but feel a surge of elation.

He wondered what specific qualities had attracted her to him? Was it his character? His charisma? Or his surgical prowess?

Regardless of the reason, securing such a highly skilled professional was undoubtedly a positive development.

Director Lou personally contacted Jiang Wei, extending an invitation for her to attend an interview at the Emergency Department with Zhou Can the following day.

The nature of an 'interview' can manifest in various forms.

Not all assessments involve a formal setup with multiple interviewers posing questions to a candidate and then assigning scores based on their responses.

Many organizations employ more adaptable interview methods. For example, companies that prioritize employee conscientiousness might strategically leave a slightly dripping faucet in a corridor frequented by candidates. Alternatively, they might place trash on the floor, spill water to create a slippery hazard, or employ the well-worn tactic of allowing a broom to topple over.

Although positioning brooms on the ground is a rather trite approach, interviewers rarely resort to this particular stratagem nowadays.

The subsequent day, upon Zhou Can's arrival at the Emergency Department, he observed Jiang Wei, her hair neatly tied up, exuding an aura of youthful vitality. She appeared particularly radiant today.

Her white shirt, with sleeves casually rolled up, lent her an efficient and capable appearance.

“Good morning, Dr. Zhou!”

“You’re here quite early! I need to make my rounds on the wards first. Please accompany me!”

Zhou Can was impressed by her proactive work ethic.

“I heard from Qiao Yu and the others that, in addition to surgeries, you personally attend to the wards both in the morning and evening. I anticipated you would arrive early, so I made sure to come even earlier. I was concerned that if I were late, you might dismiss my candidacy outright,” she remarked, with a touch of humor.

“Haha, you're quite perceptive. By the way, I wanted to inquire, are your salary and benefits expectations particularly high? My team is only just getting established, and it might be challenging to meet your demands.”

Zhou Can aimed to gauge her expectations beforehand.

The prospect of recruiting such an exceptional surgical nurse was something he eagerly desired.

Even if Qiao Yu were to pursue further studies abroad, the surgical team would still have a competent primary nurse.

While many surgeons might settle for instrument nurses who are visually appealing and possess acceptable professional skills, they maintain significantly higher standards for circulating nurses.

In practical terms, the success of a surgical procedure is substantially influenced by the circulating nurse.

The presence of an experienced and highly skilled circulating nurse can provide optimal support to the surgeon and anesthesiologist during surgical emergencies. For instance, she can impeccably manage the preparation of all necessary emergency medications, liaise with the blood bank, and summon relevant specialists for assistance.
