I feel like I should summarize the things that have stood out most to me during my stay here in Taiwan. It was the last day of clinicals for us today. Looking back on the whole experience here, although the days were long, every minute has been worth its while. My favorite thing about this month was getting to know the people. Everybody at the hospital was thrilled to see us. they were VERY welcoming. I know I've said this a hundred times but I don't think anyone will ever know what I mean until they come and experience the warmth of the people here in Taiwan.
I feel like I have learned a lot and realized how similar the healthcare system is to the United States. People are the same, no matter where you are in the world. The main focus on healthcare should be healing the person, inside and out. The nurses here really exemplify generosity, care, and kindness. I am glad I chose to come to Taiwan to learn about cultural differences in the healthcare system. I am glad I've met these wonderful nurses and doctors here. The one thing I can take away from them is their attitude and their love for everyone; including their patients and co-workers. They are so cheerful and optimistic about their work. I love it. I hope to be this way someday. I don't think I'll forget these nurses that have befriended us and joked with us as well as taught us their way of practicing as a nurse in Taiwan.
