It\u2019s our fourth day already! We packed up and left Etten-Leur early this morning and took the train eventually to Rotterdam (with many scenic stops in between!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our breakfast consisted of pre-packed sandwiches we assembled last night, courtesy of our Etten-Leur hosts Jan and Ietje. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We arrived just before noon at Hogeschool UAS Rotterdam School of Nursing and met with Annemarie, a nurse and instructor at the school and Jan and Ietje\u2019s daughter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annemarie and her colleagues gave us a quick tour of both the school and Rotterdam. This included ferry trips in the canal, and a beautiful view of an original Dutch windmill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also were able to practice our nursing skills through four separate stations. Station One tested your hand washing abilities with a UV light so you can see where you missed! Station Two was a simulation of old age, with heavy weights and movement restricting pads. Station Three taught us how to suit up and down for surgery, while Station Four taught us how to use machinery to lift a patient who may be immobile or unconscious.\u00a0 We also watched a few short presentations from the school\u2019s faculty before leaving for Utrecht.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we arrived at Bunk, the hostel we\u2019re staying in, we quickly unpacked our belongings into our pods and stored our valuables in storage lockers. Instead of traditional beds, Bunk offers small sleeper pods with customizable lights and a shared bathroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After unpacking, we met up with Alana and Tomas, two Dickinson alums studying in Utrecht. We ate dinner at a street food restaurant and got a quick tour of the town. Utrecht is a university town with more than 30,000 students and lots to do! A busy but fun day\u2014here\u2019s to more Utrecht adventures!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
