I currently work in a hospital. It's a health care institution that provides medical care.
That must be an interesting job!  Are you a nurse at the hospital?
yes I am.I focus on individual patients along with their families.
That must be such a fulfilling career helping people.  Do you get paid well for your work?
Yes I do alright. I work in the Emergency department. It treats urgent health issues from fires and accidents to heart attacks.
That sounds very difficult to experience.  Do you ever feel overwhelmed?
