March 11th: Saturday Rounds and Dinner

The weekend is here but rest and relaxation aren't just yet! We all started the day in the hospital for the summary on the patients and the status of the hospital prior to rounding. After making sure the patients were stable and rounding on the emergency room, all of the students were able to connect with the residents on a more personal level. 

Although we aren't Acute Care NP students, we are learning a lot from all of the doctors and the residents. However, some of us are also learning more about the culture! That OB department is definitely showing us the culture of eating and sharing food. Nothing a good workout can't balance in the hallways of the dorms. 

Since it was the weekend, we did get a chance to break out and see the "man made island" of the Philippines. It is a part of the city where the previous areas of water were filled in and the city was expanded on top of it. We got to eat a Korean buffet dinner and take a walk on the boardwalk. 

On to more adventures tomorrow!


Cats everywhere- can't even tie a shoe without seeing one :)

 First day of clinical is in the books! Started the day with orientation, learning about the history of the hospital we will be at the next 2 weeks. The most interesting part was the connection between Mary Johnston Hospital and Minnesota - the hospital was founded 117 years ago by a St. Paul, MN native!  We were then split between different departments; internal medicine inpatient and outpatient, the emergency department, surgery, OB/GYN, and pediatrics. Each day we are paired with a different provider, typically medical residents. Everyone has been welcoming (and we even got to see a surprising visitor in the patient rooms- a stray cat running around!).
