Clinical Alternative

On Monday we had a presentation to give to the people who are in charge of our placement here. They are faculty from the University of Huddersfield (Lauren and Bev). We presented on the health care system in the U.S. and on our nursing education and role. We discussed similarities and differences between the U.S. and the U.K. We had probably about a 15-20 minute presentation prepared that turned in to about 2 hours! They were very interested and had questions for us and input. So it turned out pretty well! Before and after our presentation, we had a tour of the Calderdale hospital. It is a much nicer and newer facility than the one we were in for the first 2 weeks. Hopefully if students come back here, they can have clinical time in this hospital. They had a great labor and delivery unit that we visited.

They are literally obsessed with infection control. They have these stop signs and "Stop. Gel. Go." signs all over the place! Don't mess with the matron!
Please note the seriousness in our faces regarding this matter.

These are offices in the hospital. Not too organized.
