It was exactly noon, and Clarisse was busy working at the hospital. They say that nurses need both nimble hands and a kind heart, and she had both. Although she initially joined S. Drucker Hospital because of Wooden Drucker, over the past three years, her sincere service and superb skills had earned her the position of head nurse in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
The ICU, as the name suggests, concentrates the hospital's advanced equipment and most highly trained medical staff with the goal of increasing the success rate of rescues and thereby reducing mortality rates. The job was exhausting and mentally stressful, as no one knew if the patients admitted here would make it out alive.
Ideally, nurses should work in shifts, but Wooden Drucker, considering that she also needed to take care of Josie, had specially arranged for her to work a regular 9-to-5 schedule, with weekends off to spend time with Josie. She felt quite guilty about this, but Wooden Drucker insisted.
