Eating at a restaurant in Norway

Today was another great day! We met our Norway nursing students whom we will be pairing with. They are all very nice and excited to have us here. We met up with Pertice at the school and had our little meet and greet. We tried some Norwegian waffles, jam and cheese. The cheese was sweet and went well with waffles and jam. We now have our schedules for the hospital and it is much different than back home. They only work 8 hours and are only allowed to work 1 night shift during their clinical rotation. The students find their own preceptors and make their own schedule. The student that I (gwen) am with does not have a scheduled shift for the last two weeks and has told me that I could make it whatever I wanted. They also work 1 to 3 weeks on one unit and then they switch to another unit. So I am going to be working on three different units while I am here. They also have specialized units (such medicine: cardiac and respiratory) for each area. So we are working in areas such as: Medicine (cardio & resp), ICU, Medical daycare, Surgery (post-op), and ortho and some other areas. The areas are a bit different so we will know more once we work there. More to come later....
