Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic?
I am a Child Nursing student at Anglia Ruskin University in my second year. This academic year I have been presented with the once in a lifetime opportunity to go on an elective placement to Kathmandu, Nepal to work in the children's ward of a local hospital. This will be a 4 week long placement in August 2019. This is fantastic opportunity for me to experience healthcare in a less- economically developed country compared to the healthcare system we have in UK. I will also have the opportunity to see first hand a range of healthcare conditions and treatment that I would not be able to experience in the UK. This massive learning curve that I am so excited to experience will contribute to my development and learning as a Children's Nurse, as it will help develop my professional skills, my clinical knowledge and competence.
Why I need your help: As you would expect, such a trip comes at a price, which unfortunately, as a student, I cannot afford through student finance and wages alone.I have a GoFundMe page set up where I will likely be receiving most donations. (https://www.gofundme.com/nursing-placement-kathmandu-nepal). I will not be relying solely on donations through gofundme, as I will be saving up my income as well as trying to raise money through alternative methods such as selling personal items/ bake sales and EasyFundraising (https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/shannoncrowley-kathmandunepal/ ) .
What will the money be spent on? - Flights to and from Nepal - Safe and secure accommodation in Kathmandu - Catering during my stay - Travel Insurance (which is more extensive due to the nature of my trip) - Vaccinations - Travel during my trip, including Airport to Accommodation - Orientation to the city and the hospital - Required funding for my placement at the hospital - Language support to enable to learn basic Nepali to communicate with patients and staff - Support from the WorkTheWorld Team - Specialist equipment I need to purchase to enable me to carry out clinical procedures.
I need to be able to raise the full amount by May 6th 2019.
