Today I had my first day at the hospital. I was at the surgical ward...we were even 10 minutes late on our first day since the cab neer showed up at the time we ordered it for...
We bare introduced ourselves before we were put to work, to make beds..before following some Namibian students on their observation rounds, that is something totally different from how we do it in Norway; they bare speak to their patients, just measure their vitals, ask how they are doing and then walk out. In order to help patients with their morning hygiene they heat water in tank in the hallway. What we learned the most from was when we got to follow on the doctors visit and he talked about the patients diagnoses. Besides that it was a very quiet day there, but we still got to observe and see a lot of differences between the Namibian way of nursing and the Norwegian way routines and procedures are being done.
The rest of the afternoon were spent by the pool/front yard reading for our upcoming exam.
Todays outdoor dinner was "Silje´s chickensoup".
I was tired and went to bed quite early...have a good night everyone :-)
