We are starting to get news from our scholars! It is a very exciting time for them. Please read and enjoy the posts below. Keep them in your thoughts.
Daughter of widow living in urban Kampala.
I know it has been so long since you got updates from me, my apologies! I am on holiday now. I am back during this long break.
Mum always gets teary eyed whenever she talks about my progress in school and how grateful she is for Gretta foundation; for she can now be able to support my siblings who are still in school too without having to worry about me. This might sound funny, but, surprisingly she has put on a little weight. Thank you for the great work you are doing. My family really appreciates!
As I had earlier on told you, we did several clinical-specialty courses and practicum last semester. Nursing specialties define the complexity of nursing as a profession. Here knowledge and proficiency are required, for example, in oncology and cardiology nursing. This opened my eyes as to why we need baccalaureate training of nurses. I found almost all areas intriguing after we rotated in different specialist departments and institutes. Hospice Uganda is one of the best hospices in Africa.
I learned that it is important for a patient to receive care from a confident nurse. I have also learned to serve, love and care however much complex the patient's condition is. As a matter of fact, I always take a minute or two to explain the important work nurses do whenever I encounter people who do not understand or understate what nursing is.
I was among our university representatives this year on the International Nurses Day celebrations at Butabika hospital. As I reflected upon those events I am inspired by how you (the TGF team) joined efforts to make me become part of the national nurses workforce, which is no doubt, the back bone of Uganda’s healthcare delivery system.
I am so much looking forward to my final year, especially the research project.
Thank you, and the team for seeing me through the previous academic year. I cannot go without saying I am a proud Gretta scholar!
Warm regards…..Gretta Scholar 4th year.
siblings rivalry with the parenting territory. If you feel uncomfortable, the competition between siblings, so maybe it's better to stop a child.
