Chapter 1513 - 611: Irreplaceable, Conquering Neurological Challenges
"Of course, it would be the surgeon! If there’s a team leader, the highest position belongs to the leader."She answered without hesitation.
"Wrong! The highest position in the operating room is the head nurse. I believe you have the potential to become the head nurse."
Zhou Can’s words made her pause.
This was actually a recognition of her status.
In fact, the head nurse does hold the highest position in the operating room. It’s not uncommon to see the head nurse scolding whoever she displeases, even the surgeon isn’t exempt.
However, just like a circulating nurse may reprimand an intern and even replace them into a first assistant role, this doesn’t necessarily mean the circulating nurse is more esteemed than the intern.
Nurses and doctors are entirely different systems.
It’s somewhat like a husband fearing his wife; this fear might not really be fear, but a form of love, a gentleman’s conduct, a sign of tolerance and magnanimity.
The head nurse in the operating room wields considerable power, that’s undeniable.
But claiming they are necessarily more esteemed than the surgeon might not be accurate either.
Each has their own role.
Doctors can sometimes make mistakes in operational details, especially when managing sterile procedures, where nurses provide oversight to maximize surgical safety.
Additionally, during emergencies, nurses can offer significant assistance.
Take a simple example, when a patient experiences issues during surgery and in the rescue process, if the nurse fails to establish a central venous line, it will undoubtedly delay the rescue. At that moment, the doctor would likely be extremely frustrated with the nurse.
In order to retain Qiao Yu, this unique talent, Zhou Can drew her a big picture.
The Emergency Department’s operating room has yet to select a head nurse.
Liu Xia is the most senior, currently with the title of nurse practitioner, and is reportedly being evaluated for an associate professor title. However, the slots for associate and full professor in the Emergency Department are very limited.
Be it a department or a unit, they need to maximize their interests.
The Emergency Department will surely prioritize securing associate professor slots for doctors rather than nurses.
Otherwise, it would invert priorities.
While selecting a head nurse doesn’t necessarily require an associate or full professor title, appointing a nurse practitioner as head nurse would certainly diminish the quality of surgical care.
Moreover, Liu Xia, despite being the most senior and having decent technical skills, has mediocre management capabilities.
People who are too rigid in their ways are not suited for management positions.
Qiao Yu is different; she not only has strong professional skills and great potential but also acts with exceptional wisdom, displaying a remarkable demeanor. Being the head nurse of the operating room in the future, she will surely manage it well.
This would be a blessing for the operating room.
Of course, this matter is not solely decided by Zhou Can.
At least, he doesn’t have that kind of authority at the moment.
"Thank you, Brother Can, for your affection. I’ll see when I return to the country. I believe the world still operates regardless of who’s missing. You can find suitable excellent nurses who can definitely replace me."
She ultimately wasn’t swayed by the head nurse position, her intention to leave remained clear.
This made Zhou Can feel a sense of melancholy.
There’s no romantic involvement, just pure camaraderie and colleague friendship.
After getting along for a long time, naturally, there’s a bond.
After going through adjustments in various aspects, there’s a synergy in cooperation, which is a vital condition for an excellent team.
He truly felt reluctant to let go of Qiao Yu, this excellent nurse.
"Qiao Yu, do you know? Ever since the first surgery we cooperated on, I particularly enjoyed every operation with you. Having you as my instrument nurse allows me to operate with ease and smoothness. Neither Jiang Wei nor anyone else gives me this feeling. It’s not that they don’t do well, but the rapport between us is highest. You are very important to me and to the team, you’re not as replaceable as you think."
Zhou Can did his utmost to persuade her to stay.
At present, Qiao Yu might only have mediocre competitiveness.
After completing her studies abroad, she would undoubtedly become highly sought after.
Only by doing everything to retain her now, can she voluntarily return to the team after achieving her academic success.
"To borrow a classic quote, I can’t say exactly what is good about you, but no one can replace you."
Zhou Can was desperate to keep her.
Such words that could easily be misunderstood; he wouldn’t have said them to other women previously.
Hehe~!
She laughed heartily after hearing this, covering her mouth.
"I’m not that great! Alright then, when I return to the country, I’ll come to you, just don’t think I’m old."
Qiao Yu agreed with a smile.
There was an unclear connection between her and Zhou Can.
Initially, she aimed to become his partner.
Unfortunately, things didn’t turn out that way.
Now it seems likely they can only be friends and comrades, unable to become lovers.
"So it’s all settled then! If you meet a man who makes your heart flutter, maybe consider it; when girls get older, their value drops."
Zhou Can joked with her.
This statement essentially clarified that they would only have a colleague or friend relationship, ruling out any improper romantic relationship.
"You’re so annoying, speaking so bluntly. Really didn’t see this straight-man potential in you before!"
Qiao Yu rolled her eyes and teased.
"Haha, I’m just worried about you being stuck between high standards and low standards, becoming a leftover warrior! Just showing normal concern, don’t overthink it." Zhou Can could feel that she seemed to have let go of certain fantasies.
