On to Scotland

Inverness is such a gorgeous place and part of me really would love to live there! We stayed here for 2 nights in a bed and breakfast. We had the opportunity to tour 2 hospitals and spend a day with district nurses. A district nurse is someone who makes visits to people in the community. I was with a CPN (community psychiatric nurse). I only went on one visit with her, but it was really interesting and somehting that maybe the U.S. could adopt and could be beneficial. I loved the nurse I was with and it was a very good day. I spent the morning at the office listening to reports on patients, learned about behavioral family therapy, and listened to a drug rep and ate free lunch from him :) Tom and Anne are a couple who have helped us out so much here in Scotland. They are friends of Erin's sister who set up the clinical experiences for us in Inverness and they took us to see Loch Ness and the Urquhart Castle. They have been so nice to us and made this experience such a great one!
