Hands-on clinical practice

Dear my sponsors.
It’s always a great pleasure for me to commune with you all.
By and by I have come to appreciate how fortunate I am to be attending this course in this university.

I like it, it challenges me as a handicap student but I have not let that stand in the way, I try harder and it gets better.

We have been visiting the wards for more clinical knowledge. I feel I have more practical knowledge than the theory I put on paper during exams. They say that the nursing field is “hands on” and with that I guess i make a great nurse.
We have also been visiting the communities to appreciate the causes of different diseases in certain areas.
The semester has been a busy one with progressive tests, community visits and course works. I will be beginning my end of semester exams around 20th of next month.

My only setback has been a lot of research topics lectures correspondence, course work gets channeled through internet. However I try to make it work out for me by using the university library.
Our university is a good one. It doesn’t not suffer the students unrests that have been the problem of many public universities paralysing work and interrupting studies. I am happy about that.

I have also made many friends, joined different clubs. I was nominated to head the Red Cross Club in the university.
It has exposed me more  to the public . I was invited to one of the TV stations here to talk about how I copied with PTSD and depression and the response was encouraging to the viewers based on the feedback I have been receiving m

We have our organization called Second Chances Arise International and have been doing charitable and voluntary work. It helps to keep the hope alive.
We have been volunteering whenever they have been community medical camps along side medics.

My family is OK, my mum is proud of the man you are making to become.
I sometimes develop bruises and wounds around the area that was amputated, I think it is because of the friction from work to lecture room. It would  put me on a bed rest for 2-4 days but overall it’s OK.

I thank you the continued support and encouragement of my education.

Sincerely
Thank you the opportunity of school,
I appreciate you all
