Mediwe From Rwanda!

Mediwe from Rwanda! Melba, Lisa, Dorothy and I made it safely to Kibogora last night. We have now had a good night's sleep and are being filled on the happenings around the hospital. This afternoon's assignment is to fix EKG machines! It looks like I'll be teaching the nurses the trauma curriculum in the mornings with practicum in the afternoons. I will also be working in the ER and with the ambulances. Apparently there is a need for some training regarding patient triage and transport in the ambulances, sounds like a fun project to me!
Lisa and I will be working together fairly closely on the teaching projects and we might just whip something up about cardiology also. Melba will be working with the nurse managers on quality improvement issues and she will also be working with Lisa and I in developing a disaster plan. Dorothy is already happily working away in the supply department and later she will be working with the child malnutrition program. She might also get to go to the villages to work with a community nutrition program as well. All in all we are doing well and are excited to get started working on things. The projects however, just seem to be getting bigger. I guess that just means that we'll have to come back again to continue them!
The internet here is a little scetchy so I don't know how often I'll be able to update this, but I hope to do it frequently. Thanks for reading and thinking of us on our journey!
