Today was one of my favorite days of the trip so far because it combined nursing history, amazing food, sightseeing, and one of the best performances I have ever seen. We started the day by visiting the Florence Nightingale Museum, and as someone interested in nursing, this experience felt really inspiring and meaningful to me….

Last Day at BCU!
Today was another really interesting day at Birmingham City University and I honestly learned so much more than I expected. This morning we had a lecture about ECGs, and although I knew they were related to the heart, I never realized how much detail and knowledge actually goes into reading and understanding them. The lecture…
Finding My Voice Through Advocacy
Today was one of the most meaningful and memorable days of this trip because we attended the International Nurses Day Conference at Birmingham City University. My group had the opportunity to present our research project about women’s reproductive education and healthcare disparities in the United States and the United Kingdom, and even though I was…
A Royal Day in Oxfordshire
Today was such a beautiful and memorable day because we got to visit Blenheim Palace and later tour the amazing city of Oxford. Even though we did not have as much time at the palace as I wanted, the day still ended up being one of my favorites so far. When we first arrived at…
Stepping Back in Time
Today we visited the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley and spent the day exploring what life was like during the 1960s. It was honestly such a fun and interesting experience because it felt like we stepped back in time for the entire day. Everywhere we walked there were old-fashioned houses, shops, schools, cars, and…
A Day That Changed My Perspective
Today was one of the most emotional days of this trip so far. We started our morning by going to BCU and learning about female genital mutilation. Before this lecture, I honestly didn’t know much about this topic other than just knowing what the term means. I had no idea how widespread it is, how…
From Textbooks to Skills Lab
Today was my first ever time getting actual hands-on experience in a skills lab! I’ve always read about what goes on in them in textbooks and TV shows, and now I actually get to practice some of the skills myself. It made everything feel so much more real and exciting, especially because I start clinicals…
A Day I’ll Never Forget
Today was the best day I’ve had so far on this entire experience. We started off our day by going to Joseph Chamberlin College, where I was placed in a classroom with students learning math and preparing for their exams. Even just sitting in the classroom and seeing all the students studying for their exams…
Still on the Grind
Today was definitely the longest and most tiring day we have had so far, and honestly it tested my limits both physically and mentally. Even though I was exhausted by the end of the day, I learned so many important things that made the experience so worth it. We started our day at 8:30 a.m….
Learning Nursing the Birmingham Way
Today was our second day at Birmingham, and so far it was one of the most educational experiences I have had on this trip. The day started at 8:15 which was very early, but it ended up being full of learning opportunities that gave me a completely different perspective of nursing education and patient care…
Bye US, Hello Birmingham!
Today was our first day in Birmingham City, and although we were all completely exhausted after sleeping in the cold dorms and the uncomfortable airplane, we were so excited to finally arrive. Somehow, despite the lack of sleep and all the traveling, we made it in one piece! After landing, we had to take a…
