shit just got real
Whoops few days too late with the 3rd blog but I worked 12 hour shifts for the first time in my life so I'm a little bit dead'isch now... Please will someone massage my back and feet??? We (Charlotte and I) started our internship last week as nurses at the George Hospital. We got introduced to our ward and the team we would work with. This was really comforting because I got really nervous. It's a whole new country with a different work environment we had to get used to. The team on ICU was really welcoming and they are still doing their best to make everything very clear to me. Most of the nurses and the patients speak Afrikaans so sometimes it was hard to figure out what the doctors and nurses were talking about but when they speak very slowly I can understand them. Though they now that I don't mind them speaking Afrikaans because I want to learn the language a little bit, they try to speak as much english as possible. The first days were really heavy, as well...
