1st actual day of placement

What a lovely ward! The staff seem very kind, especially the male nurse who seems more friendly with the kids - like a youth worker - women nurses are all about wrapping kids up and making them feel better where the male nurses are playful, wanting to make sure the kids are happy. I respect that and am convinced more than ever that we NEED male nurses, teachers and community youth workers.

I was able to write admissions, chat and just get a general feel for the place.

I'm looking forward to the next 5 weeks
