Hospital and Nursing School Visit

Today we started our adventure off at 7 in the morning.   It was during rush hour traffic that was hectic, overload of smells, busy markets, people walking in the streets, and honking horns.  We finally arrived at the hospital first after an hour and half ride.  We all took a tour of the hospital and got to see all departments that were offered.  The nurses are in regular scrubs whereas the nursing students have to wear uniforms.  They wear white skirts with button up blouses then a lab coat over them and have a white nursing cap for their hair.  While we were there we got to see nursing students in learning teaching session about sterilization surgical tools.  On our way to lunch we were traveling in a 15 passenger van and the door fell off and the driver had to put it back on with rope and we traveled now with the door open.  That was not all that happened on the ride we exchanged national anthems and they all have really great voices.  Following the door loss we lost some extra parts on the bottom of the van and dragging it along road.  So they tied the part up with a hanger back up. Following lunch we went to the nursing school and they surprised us with telling us we were going to participate in a video that was a question and answer session.  It was fun to take photos with them and connect on a personal and professional level.  It was a very great experience that will not be forgotten and can not wait for more!!!

  3. This program is not primarily online, though. The beauty of this program is that it can be completed in just 2 semesters. The schedule of classes for this program is also made flexible to let the nursing students maintain employment while they are still completing the program. Visit our website for more details.
