Work the World Reviews

My elective placement in Ghana was the best experience of my life. It has opened my eyes to an entirely different way of life and I have so many memories and made so many friends that I will never forget.

During the four weeks I tried surfing, white water rafting, safari in a national park

Culture was also evident in the day to day running of the general hospital, as although there are similarities between UK nursing and Sri Lankan nursing there were also differences. For example, instead of just doing IV’s for your patients, you had one nurse doing all of the IV’s.

Looking back I had an amazing time, I met some great people and I had experiences that can't measure up to a placement in the UK.

Being a student children’s nurse it was vital that I could spend all my clinical time in children’s departments and Work the World ensured that this was possible.
