Yuan doesn’t plan on staying a nurse for the rest of her life. Helping people get better is nice, but the pay is only decent, and it’s definitely not something that she wants to keep doing. She chuckles to herself, as the sole reason why she was here was because she didn’t really have an idea of what she wanted to do exactly. Coming out of high school, Yuan wasn’t the most competitive student in her graduating class. Yuan was pretty content with being slightly above average. Unfortunately, in a nation where there are millions of students are applying for higher education, Yuan wasn’t bound to go to a top college, unless she was one of the top students of her province.
Of course, Yuan didn’t let that this statistic defer her, she went to a secondary, vocational nursing school as part of the Nanchang University Hospital; it was a short-track program designed to provide technical knowledge and a nursing skill set at a secondary level. Granted, she had no idea which track she wanted to do; she just scribbled in “Nursing” almost as carelessly as an afterthought. She does know that nursing, working in the hospital danwei is a stable, albeit extremely busy line of work; however, as she continues to work day by day, she is growing increasingly apathetic towards her selected profession. She dreams of perhaps going back to school to learn business, or as a friend joked, marry a handsome and rich man that would sweep her off her feet. Come to think of it, maybe that isn’t such a far-fetched idea after all…
