Wowie Zowie!\u00a0\u00a0 This group has been going non-stop.\u00a0 They looked a wee bit tired this morning, but quickly perked when they went out the door into the typical Manchester summer day \u2013 gray skies, rain and hard winds.<\/p>\n
The cardiac rehab student headed out on some eye-opening home visits.\u00a0 They seemed amazed by the level of illness handled in the outpatient environment and lack of ability to get appointments.<\/p>\n
The nursing group headed back to Salford Royal Hospital for the second day of clinicals.\u00a0 They were able to observe all sorts of hospital events, including bronchoscopies, PICC lines, ulcerations, assessments and the use of disposable urinals (not sure how we feel about that one!).\u00a0 There were several astute observations.\u00a0 Most patients don\u2019t wear hospital gowns, but don their own clothes or own pajamas.\u00a0\u00a0 The patients bring their own medications to the hospital and the nurses dose those and use stock supply for anything the patient doesn\u2019t have.\u00a0 Nurses wear plastic aprons for all procedures, including hanging IV medications.\u00a0 The aprons vary in color \u2013 red means a more intense procedure (ie. Wound dressing) and \u201cdon\u2019t interrupt me\u201d, yellow and white.<\/p>\n
The sport group started the day watching the Salford City Reds rugby training session.\u00a0 They learned about Rugby League and some of the innovative training techniques used to monitor the athletes.\u00a0 Then they went to their brand new stadium for a tour.\u00a0 They met with the physiotherapist from the Sale Sharks (local team for Rugby Union) and toured their facilities.\u00a0 They finished their day at Sport City and toured the Institute for Sport, similar to US Olympic Training Center.<\/p>\n
We headed out for our big Curry Night.\u00a0 This year we set a record \u2013 a table for 38!\u00a0 You should have seen the excitement in everybody\u2019s eyes as we were met by lime green tablecloths lined up and down the whole restaurant for US!\u00a0 Within minutes we were greeted with foods of various colors and amazing flavors.\u00a0 We started with papadum, Reshmi kabob, onion Bhajee, lamb samosa, chicken tikka and aloo kebab.\u00a0 This was accompanied by plain, garlic and sweet nan (our favorite!).\u00a0 Ask the students\u2026\u00a0 Somehow we were able to find room for main dishes also \u2013 chicken tikka masala, and 3 others.\u00a0 This was followed by dessert \u2013 Mentos.\u00a0 Odd, but true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
