Film

I watched a video about health care in developing countries. In the video they tell and show you something about how healthcare is organized in India and how it is not available to everyone. A man is talking about the health care system. The people of India are often poor and cannot afford decent health care. He also tells something about the fact that there is no such thing as a register. So everyone can provide health care and does not have to be checked by the government.  

I don’t think it is right, that some people can’t get decent health care. My opinion is that good health care is a human right. You don't want this for anyone. It is concerning that there is no register. In this way, you never know if you get the right treatment. So people can't safely go to a doctor knowing they'll be fine. I'm glad I live in a country where it's better arranged.

My internship

This year I started doing an internship within the Maaswaarden institution. Maaswaarden is located in various places and offers eldery care. I started doing an internship at De Notenhoff in Andel in November. I like it because it's only 3 villages away from me.

You have 2 departments. You have the somatic department and the psychogeriatry department. The care recipients who live here are between 70 and 95 years old. I am doing an internship at the RIB department, which is a somatic department. There are 18 people living here. There are different types of diseases. The most common are Dementia, Parkinson and Alzheimer.

My first impression was that it is very nice that people are so open to you. It's hard to see how people are deteriorating so quickly in a short amount of time.

I go home every day with a positive and nice feeling. I like to listen to the people, help them and be there for them. I learned a lot during my internship and from all the assignments I made. I'm curious to see what else I'll learn in the coming weeks. I'm looking forward to it!

My favourite holiday

I'm going to tell you something about the most beautiful place I've been on holiday. Last summer I went to zakynthos, an island in Greece. I went there with my parents. We flew from Romania to Zakynthos. We flew 2.5 hours. From there we took the bus to the hotel.

We did several fun things while we were there. We went away by boat to visit several islands. The weather was very nice and warm, it was 32 degrees. To cool us down we went for a swim. In the evening we usually walked, sat at a terrace and also shopped nice things. We had a tour with the carriage with horses through the island. We also spent an evening away on another island called Laganas. We sat on a terrace and drank nice cooling cocktails.

We had breakfast and lunch at the hotel. As breakfast we have eaten omelettes, different fruits and yogurts. We also ate lunch in the hotel. During lunch there were different types of food to choose from such as: salads, pasta, sandwiches and seafood. In the evening we went to eat at a different restaurant. We ate the typical Greek dishes such as moussaka.

I had a really nice time and I really enjoyed it. I would definitely like to go here again and I recommend this to anyone who loves warm weather and good food.

Looking back on my internship

What I enjoyed the most during my internship is the company of all the lovely care recipients I got to know. I really bonded with a lot of people. I learned a lot of new things during my internship. I learned how to wash and care for people properly. I watched and learned a lot from my work supervisor and colleagues. I learned how to report and how to diagnose.

I have been well supervised by my work supervisor, which is why I have been able to learn so many new things.

Something I need to work on is getting my work pace up and taking more initiative. I'm going to work on this so that I can also improve my care.

My favourites

In this blog, I am going to talk about the things that make me the most happy in life. I’m going to explain short why these things mean so much to me. There are many other things I like and love, but these are the most important to me.

My family

My parents mean everything to me. They are always there for me when I need them. I appreciate everything they have done for me. I realize every day how grateful I am to have them.

2. My best friends

I have 2 very good friends. I've known them for almost 9 years now. They've always been there for me during good times and bad times. I am happy to have such good friends who care so much about me and whom I can trust with all my heart. I hope to make more fun memories with them.
