Going into my second week I didn’t think The British Virgin Islands could be anymore beautiful, but each day I stand happily corrected. This week, we explored other islands including Jost Van Dyke, Norman, Virgin Gorda, and even a half acre sand bar called Sandy Spit. Each island had its own atmosphere and culture. We also started our clinical experience at the hospital. I was assigned the ICU and it has been an amazing opportunity. I have learned so much from my nurse preceptors about health care and the practices in the British Virgin Islands. I see how our practices compare and differ, and how I can take what I’ve learned from this hospital and apply it to the hospitals in the States.
