Blended Programme: Hello

Time in Ireland has gone really fast and it is difficult to believe that we really've been here 10 weeks !? I'm really grateful that I got the opportunity to go to Ireland. It is learned, seen and experienced a lot. Living in 10 different human being has been a lot of fun, interesting, instructive and sometimes challenging. Before the trip I stretching a lot, how do I cope language skills, because I have not used my English language skills so long time.. Initially, it was difficult to understand and to get themselves understood, but every week my language skills improved and now speaking is much smoother.

My work placement

Work experience has gone well and i am so happy that i got to work in Cheshire home. I have learned / saw a lot of Irish nursing and it`s been interesting.When I started, I had difficulty in understanding, for example tasks that I got. But when my English skills have improved and knew day`s schedule so it`s was so much easier to work.

What is the difference of studying nursing in Finland and in Ireland?

In Finland we valued the student's independence and work adhesion. In Ireland, I was just a little assist the cleaning situations, and to change the client to bed clothes. My job was to more watch

how nursing care are made . And always had to ask permission "can I do this."
