The idea of the project „Getting Nursing Experience in a Different Health Care System” is to give nursing trainees - during their initial vocational training at the “Fachschule für Gesundheits- und Krankenpflege der Katholischen Kliniken im Märkischen Kreis” - the chance to work in a different healthcare-system for a period of four weeks. With the “DHSS Education and Training Centre” (Douglas / Isle of Man) the Fachschule has found an attractive host organisation in the United Kingdom to carry out this project. The intent of the project is to help trainees to get nursing experience in another healthcare-system, in another organisation with a different structure and other basic conditions. In the course of the project the trainees should compare nursing interventions and strategies in different environments, reflect their experiences and improve their nursing skills. Before the trainees will go to the Isle of Man the project coordinator of the partner organisation will ask them for wishes concerning their practical placements. So it can be realized, that specific interests are regarded. The practical placements in Nobles` Hospital on the Isle of Man could be: - a nursing ward (different medical specialization: e.g. internal medicine, surgery) - operation theatre - accident and emergency - day-procedure suite - intensive care unit - hospice - the community service
