I worked my shifts in the Nephrology and Dialysis department together with three other university mates. From the beginning I thought I would be anxious and instead as soon as I started I realised that I was just very excited to be able to compare myself with nurses and doctors. The first week I worked shifts in Dialysis and being a ward where children have to have specific treatments using a machine, I wasn't very busy in fact I was almost bored. But later I went to Nephrology and from there I understood how important and demanding this profession can be. Luckily I had very good and understanding tutors who were able to put me at ease and explain many procedures to me. At the end of the internship I was very tired but also satisfied with what I had learned. What I enjoyed the most was being able to take care of the children and comfort the families. Obviously there have been unpleasant episodes, in fact one of the patients I was following died, but this is still part of the work I want to do in the future. Despite this, I hope to learn a lot again when I change departments.]]> 2023-05-29 15:18:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ceciliacarletti04/aa559ae67wfy5bb9/wish/2607982703 Create a short message related to COVID, vaccinations or anything related to health ceciliacarletti04 https://padlet.com/ceciliacarletti04/aa559ae67wfy5bb9/wish/2607982704 2023-05-29 15:18:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ceciliacarletti04/aa559ae67wfy5bb9/wish/2607982704 ceciliacarletti04 https://padlet.com/ceciliacarletti04/aa559ae67wfy5bb9/wish/2607982705 List five English language resources (websites) that are important for nurses. ]]> 2023-05-29 15:18:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ceciliacarletti04/aa559ae67wfy5bb9/wish/2607982705 Listen to one of the recordings from our book.

Elise is an 18 year old girl who plays volleyball. Two days ago, she fell during her training with her team and since then she hasn't been able to move her arm. For this reason he decided to have an X-ray examination. Today Elise decided to go to Doctor Meyer for a visit.

Doctor Meyer: Good morning. How’re you doing today?

Elise: I’m fine, thank you.

Doctor Meyer: So what brings you here?

Elise: A few days ago during training I fell and hurt my arm. I'd like to know how my arm is, Doctor. Is it bad?

Doctor Meyer: We need to perform a surgical procedure on your left arm.

Elise: Is it broken?

Doctor Meyer: Yes, we saw a fracture on your X-ray result.

Elise: Oh God. That’s awful.

Doctor Meyer: It is just a small fracture. Don’t worry.

Doctor Meyer: We will physically move the bones back into place to align the bones correctly.

Elise: Is it dagerous?

Doctor Meyer: No. Really, it’s a standard surgery that common people receive. You’ll be perfectly okay.

Elise: How long is the recovery?

Doctor Meyer: Recovery time can vary depending on every patient’s condition. But you will get better after six weeks or so.

Elise: Do I need to wear a cast?

Doctor Meyer: A half cast will be applied and will be removed around three weeks after surgery.

Elise: Okay, then. Thank you for helping me.

Doctor Meyer: You’re welcome. Hope you get well soon!

Did anyone or anything influence your decision? ceciliacarletti04 https://padlet.com/ceciliacarletti04/aa559ae67wfy5bb9/wish/2607982709 Write 100-150 words.

Choosing to go to work between wards and hospital rooms, I think it will be an endless adventure for me. What drives me to become a nurse is taking care of people, their weaknesses and frailties; this is a job that requires selfless devotion and a great respect for life. It is said that assistance is an art, I think exactly like that. I decided that I would like to do this job when I was little because I already understood at that time that I wanted to take care of people and be close to them. This decision of mine was also influenced by my grandfather who was a nurse. In particular, I was struck by his empathy and his strength in listening; thanks to him I understood how important it is to deal delicately with any situation, not only from the point of view of the disease but also in the face of any form of discomfort and difficulty.
