In order to prepare us for everything we may be faced with while abroad, we have spent this past week in seminars learning about tropical disease and culture shock, discussing ethics surrounding international nursing, and participating in emergency birth simulations. In a very short time I am sure we will all be in situations that will challenge us to remember not only the teachings from our prep seminars, but also the skills and knowledge we have acquired over these past 4 years.
With our medical supply bags packed and ready, we now only have to worry about fitting all our own personal belongings into our travel packs! T-2 days until departure.
We would love for you to follow us through our adventures and practice experiences via this blog spot. All group members will be contributing throughout the trip and would love to hear your feed back and questions through the comments you can leave below!
