First day

So yesterday was my first day in the medical ward. It was interesting to say the least, and the ward is very basic with all the medication in makeshift boxes and hand made labels with individual tablets in patient's 'pigeon hole' style shelves.

Patients are in rooms of three and are only separated by one side of curtain with the door to the main corridor often being left open.  Dignity is not considered an essential part of nursing care and patient communication is minimal, with tasks and medication administration being the priority.

I will update with more info at the end of the week.

Beginning of the journey

I'm currently waiting at Jorge Newberry airport for my flight to Mendoza where I will be met by a Work the World team member to take me to the house.

Very excited!!!

JFK Airport

Just arrived at JFK airport in New York waiting for my transfer flight to Buenos Aires. Spending the day there then I will be arriving in Mendoza on Sunday. Will keep you posted.

Hey ladies and gents,

Only 2 more nights and i will jetting off to Mendoza, Argentina.

Got everything sorted with work the world, airport pickup evening meal on arrival and orientation day on the first day.

Really excited now, just hoping for a smooth flight with American Airlines with some good food (fingers crossed).
