The day we got to visit Brooks University was a real experience. We were fortunate enough to have a wonderful professor by the name of Ann who specialized in pediatrics. She gave us a lesson on family and how important it is to be able to establish a trusting relationship with patients. She also made it clear on how to ask the right questions to know who the main support system is. I feel we are very lucky to be given this opportunity to learn from such well educated people. I was not aware of how different the United Kingdom is when it comes to their nursing school. We are the same in a few ways, but very different in many ways as well. We were also given the chance to have a tour of the new children's hospital. It is only 2 years old so it looks fantastic. I think it would be amazing to be able to work at a facility like this one. We got to take a tour through the play room, Ronald McDonald's house, and areas specific for parents to list a few. I really liked how they made it comfortable as possible for parents going through rough times. I am honored that we have been given this opportunity to learn from such a well distinguished school.
