Chapter 123 The Work of a Health Care Nurse

"Thank you Director Qin for your concern. I will work hard!" Wu Yanzi said with a faint smile.

"Actually, my sister is also a student of the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Nanjing University, but I majored in public administration, so after graduation I went to work in administrative management at the Health Commission. In this way, my sister and I are both alumni. Therefore, as an elder sister, I must help my younger sister. It just so happens that our Health Commission has recently added five health care workers, so I want my sister Xiao Wu to work as a traditional Chinese medicine health care worker at the Health Commission. This way, the elder sister helps the younger sister, and the younger sister also helps the elder sister's work. I wonder if the younger sister is willing to come to my sister's place."

Qin Lixia's words stirred up waves in Chu Yunhao's heart. If Wu Yanzi could join the Veteran Cadre Health Care Committee, it would really be an opportunity for Wu Yanzi. Therefore, he looked at Wu Yanzi eagerly. He really hoped that Wu Yanzi could agree.

After Qin Lixia asked Wu Yanzi questions, she smiled and said, "Since it's my senior sister's invitation, I'm willing to go. But I don't understand the work of a TCM health care practitioner. If I can't do the job, it will only cause trouble for my senior sister."

"Sister Wu, you can definitely do the job of a TCM health worker. Haha, I forgot to tell you about the specific work of a TCM health worker. It's like this. In our Veteran Cadre Health Care Committee, there are health care experts and health workers, of course, there are TCM and Western medicine. Health care experts are some experienced chief physicians from major hospitals in our Nan City who work part-time. They are health care doctors who regularly conduct rounds and medical care for veteran cadres or senior cadres. As you know, veteran cadres are the wealth of the country, so ensuring the health of veteran cadres has become the most important work of our Veteran Cadre Health Care Committee. Health workers are senior nurses who know how to massage. Health workers mainly cooperate with health workers to do nursing work. Sometimes they go out alone to massage the bodies of veteran cadres and senior cadres to relieve their physical discomfort. Now many cadres suffer from high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and cervical and lumbar spondylosis. Therefore, health workers are needed to provide timely care. So what? As a top student of TCM clinical medicine at the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Nanjing University, Sister Wu is naturally fully qualified for the job of a TCM health worker." Director Qin Lixia explained.

At this time, Wu Yanzi understood that a Chinese medicine health care worker is a massage therapist, which is really a very suitable job for her and is also her professional expertise.

Wu Yanzi nodded and replied, "Director Qin, I can give this job as a TCM health care practitioner a try."

"Okay!" Qin Lixia was very happy, and then she smiled again, "Haha, by the way, you don't have to address me as director in private, just call me sister. Well, Sister Wu, you will have to come here tomorrow to handle your induction work. Today is Sunday and Chief Zhang Wenjiang of the Finance Department is not here. As for the salary, don't worry, it will definitely not be lower than that of other health care workers. By the way, most of the health care experts working in the Veteran Cadre Health Care Committee work part-time because they have their own career establishment. Health care workers are almost all contractual workers. As for whether they can be included in the establishment in the future, it depends on the individual's situation."

"Okay, I got it. Thank you, Sister Qin. I will report in tomorrow." Wu Yanzi said happily.

Chu Yunhao was even happier at this time. He was glad that Wu Yanzi had joined the Veteran Cadre Health Care Committee. He had always persuaded Wu Yanzi to change to a better job, but Wu Yanzi had many concerns. This time, with the help of Dean Zhang Benchu ​​and Director Qin Lixia, Wu Yanzi was finally able to do the job she was good at and liked.

Qin Lixia waved her hand at Wu Yanzi, then smiled and said, "Haha, little sister Wu, little brother Chu, you two don't have to be polite to me. I'm 36 years old this year, only about ten years older than you. Once you get along with me for a while, you'll know that I'm very easy to get along with."

Chu Yunhao and Wu Yanzi both nodded. It seemed that Qin Lixia was really as kind as Dean Zhang Benchu ​​said. There was no sign of her being an official at all.

"Now that I have the help of brother Xiaochu and sister Xiaowu, my work will be much easier. As for the department's restructuring and funding issues, I will slowly find a way to solve them." The stone that was pressing on Qin Lixia's heart was temporarily put down. After relaxing her suppressed emotions, there was more smile on her face.

"By the way, Sister Qin, please tell me about the current department restructuring and funding issues. Maybe I can help you with some ideas." Chu Yunhao suddenly asked tentatively. In his opinion, Qin Lixia brought a turning point to Wu Yanzi's life, and he should do more for Qin Lixia. "Sister Qin, I majored in economic management. I believe that as long as the economic difficulties are handled well, the difficulties can also become good situations."

After hearing Chu Yunhao's words, Qin Lixia was cheered up. Then she pondered for a while and then looked at Chu Yunhao.

"Brother Xiaochu, our Veteran Cadre Health Care Committee was originally a subordinate unit under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Party Committee, and later came under the leadership of the Health Commission. Due to limited local fiscal revenue and large expenditures, in order to reduce fiscal expenditures, the funding received by our Veteran Cadre Health Care Committee has become less. Moreover, the demand for medical services among veteran cadres is getting higher and higher, and we are short of staff and equipment. However, our Veteran Cadre Health Care Committee itself cannot make a profit, and it is also facing a shortage of funds. Therefore, the Veteran Cadre Health Care Committee is now facing many difficulties. Therefore, the higher-ups want us to introduce some social capital through restructuring to improve our service level and quality, so as to ensure the normal operation of the Veteran Cadre Health Care Committee. Alas..." Qin Lixia sighed and shook her head. "However, the process of restructuring is not easy. Which enterprise unit will cooperate with an unprofitable unit to introduce social capital? Moreover, restructuring will involve many interests and policies and regulations. How will the personnel in the system be dealt with at that time? Therefore, these restructurings are difficult and not easy to complete. Before the restructuring, our unit could only survive with the funds from above, but the funds were decreasing every year, from more than 20 million last year to more than 10 million this year. The gap is too big. The department needs to pay for employee salaries and benefits, public comprehensive expenses, operation and maintenance fees, union funds, and special materials. Therefore, as the funds decrease, the corresponding expenditures will be affected, which has led to the current difficult situation."

Listening to Qin Lixia's words, Chu Yunhao nodded from time to time, which showed his understanding of the dilemma Qin Lixia was facing. At the same time, he also had a full understanding of the current Veteran Cadre Health Care Committee.

Chu Yunhao thought for a moment and said, "Sister Qin, in the case of a bad economic environment, what you said is not only present in administrative institutions, but also often encountered in companies and enterprises. If you want to reverse the predicament, you must break the original model and then implement reform and innovation to increase vitality. This is the significance of reform."
