Trot Around Oxford
Today started as an early day. We hopped on a coach to go to Oxford. The two hour ride was scenic, but I mainly listened to music on the way there. I saw some greener areas but also different streets of the city. It was a two hour drive, so there was plenty of time…
PhD Prepared
Today, we woke up with the intention of having a class and then focusing on presentations. However, life happened and we got to work on our presentations for a good few extra hours. I loved and needed this, as I am an anxious individual and felt that the more practice we got the better our…
My Mother is a Social Worker
Social Work in the UK is considered to be on par and in collaboration with Education and Nursing. In the US, this is different. I know this because my mother is a Social Worker in the US for a company called Pressley Ridge. She is the project director for the residential placements for those with…
Queen Victoria Can’t Handle These Wenches
Today, we went to the Black Country Living Museum and it was incredible. It reminded me of a renaissance fair, but obviously not that time era and not the same type of activities. We started off at one of the mining shafts. We were greeted by one of the workers who then proceeded to inform…

Finally! An education day! I was super excited today after seeing all the differences within the nursing profession here to see how the education system was structured and implemented. We heard from Liz today about the age settings and structures of the schooling systems as well as the types of schools and standardized testing. They…

When learning about public health in the UK, I enjoyed the inclusion of the definition of public health. Public Health Work being the science and art of preventing disease,…
Cursed Be He Who Read My Post
Today was a rainy day from the start. We had missed our train by a few minutes, so we had to figure out the next platform to go to that would take us to Stratford Upon Avon. The group was asked by a man if the train went past Stratford, and we told him that…
Education: UK vs US
For our second day of classes, we were dropped right into the schooling aspect of the trip. We were introduced to the system of Nursing in the UK by David Waters. We then were visited by a multitude of Nurses who gave us perspectives on many different specializations of the field. One aspect I focused…
I’m in Birmingham, Bruv!
Yesterday, we got into Birmingham after a long day of travels. Once we got into Heathrow, the airport in London, it was the quickest process to get into the country. We essentially scanned our passports, scanned our faces, and we went on our merry way into the country! This was then followed by a two…
