What an amazing final day in the Ayurvedic hospital! I've helped plant trees in the new herb garden with the military, learnt about pressure & massages and helped teach a german tourist group about Ayurvedic medicine and the hospital! #worktheworld #travelsrilanka @NursingUoW

Such an amazing first day of my Ayurvedic/village experience! I helped treat a broken clavicle, femur, hips and slip discs! The Dr. is so knowledgeable and skilled yet so humble! #worktheworld #nursingelective #ayurvedicmedicine #alternativemedicine #studentnurse

Anuradhapura, you've been amazing! But for now I have to say goodbye and thankyou to all the wonderful staff at the #worktheworld house and the hospital staff for all you've done in the past 3 weeks! #nursingplacement #internationalelective #worktheworldsrilanka #studentnurse

with the help from the Ward Master, this will be translated to sinhalese and used to educate patients and empower them to take responsibility for their diabetes! #worlddiabetesday #diabeteseducation #healthpromotion #nursingelective #worktheworldsrilanka #worktheworld

[Evie Poole @EviePoole_]

This time last year I made a leaflet for patients in the UK recently diagnosed with diabetes, during my GPN placement. This year, to contribute to World Diabetes Day, I adapted this leaflet to make it appropriate for Sri Lankans with diabetes,

Such a lush evening to end the weekend! Last night I was invited round for dinner at one of the nurses houses, with her beautiful family! #feelingblessed #nursingstudent #internationalelective #srilanka #friendsforlife #worktheworld @NursingUoW

Loved my time on Obs and Gynae! Despite the language barrier, I've seen and learnt so much, it was an amazing experience! I dropped these little thank you presents off before going away for the weekend! Next week general medicine 😆😃 #nursingelective #obsandgynae #worktheworld

I've had an incredible day exploring today! I travelled to Dambulla to visit the 5 Cave Temples -which monks still live in and have decorated for over 2000 years. This macaque monkey kindly poses over the 1115ft panoramic view for me! #worktheworld #SriLanka #DambullaCavetemple

Nursing abroad is such a great experience; it really makes me realise how lucky we are to have readily available and free medications in the UK!

I moved to the labour ward today to follow a patients journey. I observed my first natural birth - it was incredible and terrifying at the same time! Pain relief is rarely used during labour, and partners or family aren't allowed to be present!

[Evie Poole @EviePoole_]

@MrsGPaige @worktheworld Thank you so much Grace! I must say though I was a lot more sweaty when I got back! Xx

[Evie Poole @EviePoole_]

Today was my first day on placement in #antenatal care in Sri Lanka! Amazing experience and learning so much! Although I surprise myself with how much I know when I get asked questions! #nursingelective #srilanka #obsandgynae @worktheworld

[Evie Poole @EviePoole_]

@martina_davies Thank you Martina! Got here in one piece after a very long flight!! Hope you're well and look forward to catching up! Xx

[Evie Poole @EviePoole_]

@martina_davies @RCNGPNForum @miaskelly @WeStudentNurse @WeGPNs @kstorey63 @LeanneHPatrick @gillboast @PaulaCojocaru3 @C_Carmichael83 Completely agree! The best mentor I've had is a GPN!
