In the "Telephone Room"

Soura's Play Pen
Soura had a character for each type of phone - Gwen was able to film one of them... Enjoy!

Trip to the Museum

On Sunday we made our way to the museum. The museum was on the reconstruction of Hammerfest, Norway after the Germans burnt it down in 1945. It was very interesting and had some fun rooms with telephones from all eras. Soura had more fun than anyone (just watch the video).

Hike in Norway

What a beautiful day today was! All four of students and Pertice had the day off (first time all on the same day since we got here) and we went on a hike. The view was great. I did not realize how big Hammerfest was until I was looking over the town. I have posted some pics so you can see for yourself. These pictures speak a thousand words, for sure!

Clinical Experience

All of us have been working in different areas of the hospital with each of our nursing students. We have been learning much about the way things are done here at the hospital and what the students learn at their school and hospital. It has been very interesting and a great learning experience. Each of us have had discussion with our Norwegian nursing students about how procedures are done in Norway and in Canada and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each. It is a whole new avenue of critical thinking and contemplating about the taking for granted practices that we might have.

We took some pictures of us dressed in our white uniforms, but I have to find out whose camera they are on to upload them. They actually dont look that bad and you can definitely tell who are the nurses. Also I like the fact that after a days work at the hospital, I can leave my uniform in the laundry bin in the change room and pick up a clean pair for the next day.

Each of us have been experience different units and different shifts, so it always interesting to catch up with each other every few days. Even though we live in the same complex, we sometimes do not all see each other for several days. I also have pictures of our units, but forgot my camera cord back at my flat so I will have to do that as well next time. The flats are cozy and cute allowing each of us to have our own personal space.
