Die RKU

Die RKU - Universitäts- und Rehabilitationskliniken Ulm
For the last 2 weeks I've been learning surgical nursing in orthopedic unit. Mostly pre- and postoperative nursing with adults but also couple days in childrens' ward. These weeks have been interesting but hard.Trying to cope with two foreign languages.First days went by in a blur. Yet, my understanding towards german hospital language seems to be better everyday and I can communicate with the patients auf Deutsch.

This clinic differs from finnish in many ways.Actually I was surprised of the fact that nurses and doctors work all together sharing their office too.The atmosphere here between all workers is very friendly. Nurses' job differs also.Here nurses are not usually allowed to take blood samples,take care of the wounds or cannulate.Instead there are multiple other unfamiliar tasks for me to learn.
Germany is a multicultural country and one of  the best things is to meet people from different cultures everyday.

Getting settled

So the first week has passed and becoming to know the city piece by piece. The german language classes will continue next week and hoping to be able to study the language for all semester. Even though international students study in english, I try to use also german in public places. On monday I will tell the others about our University and going to learn theirs. Living in Neu-Ulm is easy. Everything is near,"unfortunately" also a huge shopping mall 😁 The tutors took some pictures of us during the first week...

First day at the University

Here I am! My arrival to Neu-Ulm few days ago went smoothly. I was amazed by the arrangements done by the University and the tutor students. I felt extremely welcomed and well-guided.

Today was the beginning of the summer semester. Some of the professors and tutor students were waiting for our arrival,gave us a tour in the building and important knowledge for us international students. The way they had planned our day was just something I didn't expect but I had a great time. Getting to know german culture, german people and also different cultures made this day one to remember.
