First of all, just two weeks after leaving the states, I got my luggage! Yipee! I'm going to have peanut butter for lunch!
So, I'm busy at work! There is a lot of education to be done. The hospital here doesn't feel like nurses get the education they need in nursing school. So, I am helping to develop a 2 year Pediatric Nursing Course for the nurses at the Angkor Hospital for Children. That is more than we get in the US! They are really serious about education here! Hopefully, it will make a difference! My first goal is to get some textbooks. I have emailed Mosby to see if they would donate some and send them over here. I don't think the textbooksare a big deal, but mailing them could be costly. Any ideas? Next, I have reviewed the outline and have given feedback. I developed a timeline for the first year. Now, I am working on the lectures. It's a different process developing a lecture for someone else to given. I am starting with the basics, like nursing philosophy and the role of the Pediatric Nurse. I don't get a lot of feedback about what I have developed, so hopefully it is what they want!
I enjoyed Khmer barbecue last night. It is quite a treat!
I really am so happy your luggage came. I had given up hope that you would ever get it! As for the textbooks, I bet we could set up a fundraiser with our family and friends to get them sent over there. $5 x's a lot of people could make a difference!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tammy! I'm glad my luggage came too. I was beginning to wonder myself. I figured out there was a couple thousand dollars worth of stuff in there. I'll let you guys know when I hear from Mosby's. I'm hoping they'll do something!
