OTHER THING ABOUT THE HOSPITAL TOUR
I can assure you that the hospital is not always as calm and peacefull as it was when we saw it. We just were lucky. One thing worth mentioning that I completely forgot to explain is that the Satakunta Hospital District covers the area of several municipalities aroun Pori and the population of the whole area is about 250 000.
What comes to the cultural differences mentioned in some blogs, I am always happy to recommend for further reading the book When Cultures Collide by Richard D. Lewis.

HOSPITAL VISIT
I was gald to notice that some discussion erupted in blogs after the Hospital Tour. I would like to comment the working shore issue. As far as I know, the regulations require us to wear shoes with backstrap. If any accident because of the wet floor for example, the hospital insurance might not pay the damages for us. Previously, some 20 years ago, toecap was also required but this also ment that some used the wooden shoes which cannot be considered safe and comfortable as one might stand the whole shift. On the otherhand, in those wards the hospital offered the shoes (ICU and OR), the shoes were of floppy plastic (antistatic), and not very good for legs. Trainers are not considered being good for legs while used the whole shift either and so most nurses use sandals because of comfortablity and lightnes.

Okay, finally I had time and energy to concentrate for creating the blog. Blogging doesn't seem to be my thing as I did this already second time and it is just as difficult as it was previously.
Anyway, I really enjoy the high energy level of all the students. Hoping this event will be just as creative as the previous ones as it is the last of three.
