Day 8 Duck tour


This morning we did feedback about our erasmus student toolkit. It was very interesting but we could have done with more information . This toolkit is going to be accessible before the exchange. I liked the mentors toolkit very nice and well presented .It was clear and understandable on what the mentors need and their accountability. I felt this is going to be useful for me for you have to create a good relationship with your mentor. As you can see on the picture we had a fantastic duck tour time despite the weather being freezing. We toured london and saw the sites including the statue of the world s most famous nurse Florence Nightingale. It was great fun when the bus went into the water,am glad it managed to float Duck tour quack, quack quack quack quack quack quack quack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 7

Met at Archway in Cafe decided to do it as groups sharing ideas. In our group doing Law and Systems. Code of Conduct overlaps in all countries but things like restraining patients have to check with clinical practice. Also learnt different duties of students like some countries you cannulate and do IVs as students. As compared to UK you have to be trained to do so . On my exchange to Finland I will check the clinical practice policies do s and donts because they may differ . I love this programme I wish it was long its not boring but learning something everyday
Thanks to the programme leaders am loving it.

Day 6

At the Ban met in our groups discussing about erasmus student toolkit. Everyone is happy with the mine facebook.We all want a website as toolkit where you can read or print a hard copy . All information on different cultures,uniforms, travelling . We got four main links for every country so each group was given one

Mentors and Asseessement
Law and Systems
Hospitals and Wards
Environment

Am so happy doing this toolkit because am going to be using it hopefully it will have all my answers .

Day 5

We met in our groups where there is student from each country . It was so interesting as we share our past experiences as students. We had more negative experiences than positive. Most of the fears and anxiety where overlapping like students clashing with their mentors . The most common one was fear of not passing and not able to work with your mentor all the time. As a group we analyse that more assessement is need not just one in final year .As all students felt that we should have a different assessement scale if you fail like percentage or something not just pass or fail. I learnt that as a student code of conduct is very important alwalys act in a professional manner. I learnt that in my near future if I clash with my mentor I have to deal with it or check where you going wrong . We also did erasmus toolkit preparation for erasmus student what you need to know about the country to quency all your anxiety I guess. It was very useful for me I am going to Finland in Sepetmber. I feel more secure now and I have got an overview on Finland. Am looking foward to have my Finland toolkit which am going to use I cant wait to have bicycle in Finland since its their mode of transport. Am excited to learn how to cycle because I last cycle when I was 10 years old

Day 4

Learned about learning theories it was like something else new to me which am going to take thru my entire career. As Carol was saying match this definition I was blank . So as I read it makes sense all the approaches where well explained and did discussion in our groups. In future am going to use these learning theories as an erasmus student to Finland. As student I have to be focused which learning approach I am going to use on my next placement

fish and chips night


Day 3

Went to Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons which have collection of over four centuries .It was so exciting since I have never been to a scientific museum . As we started the tour the lady showed us John Hunter s collection it was a lot of collection . Although they said two third of his collection was lost during the war. So at the museum they heard one third of his collection which was fascinating bones,skeletons,skulls and dried preparation. I also learned that John Hunter did his experiments on animals before he does on human being. Which shows he believes that its not that we have to go for surgery all the time , but we can heal naturally or use other option to regrow to the origin. I managed to see historical surgical and dental instruments together with modern surgical intsruments and technologies. As to conclude as John Hunter had many followers to learn from him. He managed to build a big estate which was built into 3 parts ,one for students to learn and if u where luck he woul take you upstairs to see his museum. One of the funniest thing was he was always receiving all the dead bodies all famous people for his collection maybe behind the back door. I wonder how did manage the smell

group video

Every country was presenting their introductory digital video. Very interesting and well explained of professional regulation of each country.

Day 2

Learned about different life experiences
of student during their practice

Day 1

At the ban we did introduction where u have to say a word before you name and u have to greet everyone for example exciting Eve . We where didvided into different groups and did few games and tasks. I enjoyed and learned the importance of non verbal communication between different cultures . Which can be challenging in our nursing career . I also learnt the importance of team work for as u have one goal to archive during the games.

MY MINE JOURNEY

It has been a great pleasure to be part of this intensive programme. As I was on my placement I was counting days down looking foward. On the other hand I was anxious and excited at the same time. I did not know what to expect. As the day goes by here comes Monday since I was not attending the library tour I went straight to the pub. I was early and looking foward to meet the Maltese,Finnish and Italians. As we welcome everyone and greetings one another I felt relieved as we sat with the Maltese on the same table it was good . And I managed to recognise some of the faces from the MINE facebook as everyone was excited and chatting. Annitt one of Finnish student has to whistle as he got all the attention everyone was quiet. They announced that we where hearding to the Ban at the Hendon. In my mind nothing was ringing any bells about the ban. I have been on the University for 2 years and never heard about the Ban. So I was exicited as well of going to the Ban
