Jane Johnson works in a surgical ward in a London hospital. Jane does shift work, 

so she does not go to work at the same time every day. When she is on an early 

shift, she goes on duty at 7 a.m. and comes off duty at 3 p.m. Late shifts start at 2 

p.m. and finish at 10 p.m.

Jane always goes to work by bus when she is on an early shift. The bus stops 

outside the out-patients' department. When she comes off duty at 10 p.m., she is 

usually rather tired, and takes the bus home. Sometimes she goes to the taxi-rank 

outside the main entrance of the hospital and goes home by taxi.

Jane is not a qualified nurse. She is a student nurse, so she does not work in the
