so i kind of started a teen wolf hospital au? sorry.
Stiles is a nurse. Stiles is 23, and Stiles is a nurse. Well, officially, he is. But it's hard.
If you'd asked him four years ago what he was planning on doing career-wise, nursing probably wouldn't have been in his top five. Probably not in his top fifteen, either. Sure, he was always kind of obsessive when it came to taking care of people, but not really in the way that he figured you would be if you were a nurse. Anyway, he'd had other things in mind, things that maybe exploited his genius research streak.
He'd read that there was a problem with low morale in junior medical staff. It's not like he didn't do an incredibly thorough google search before he'd selected a major, and a school, and a hospital. And yeah, morale is low. And yeah, an outline of a week in terms of hours shows pretty clearly that a 72 hour on call rota combined with sleeping, eating, and studying leaves very little time for relaxing. Or, even eating, realistically. And the training is long, and the hours are long, and the salary is low. And patients are nasty and body fluids are nasty and hospital food sucks and he doesn't get much time to talk to his dad.
But at the same time it's not, not all the time, and not abysmally. The first person he meets is Scott, who is a surgeon, which Stiles would not have guessed, because he kind of comes off a little dim at first. But Scott has heart, and despite first impressions, he's good at what he does.
Through Scott he meets Allison, who is the head of the pediatrics floor, and Stiles can see immediately that Scott is enthralled by her, and can see why. She's pretty, and Scott is pretty, and together in the cafeteria they are pretty, if not borderline insufferable in their saccharinity. But Stiles likes them, and they like him, and they are the first step to living through this year.
