This blog is created for Nursing Topics: Beyond the Basics-Pediatric Assessment course I am taking this summer. I am currently a senior at Methodist College planning to graduate in December.  I am very excited to start internship in the Fall and become a RN.

But before I do all that I am heading to North Carolina with a small group of classmates to have a clinical experience at the Cherokee Indian Hospital Authority. I have never been to this part of the country and I have never been on an Indian reservation. I can not wait to immerse myself in this experience with my classmates. I want to learn about the NUKA healthcare model and how it differs from the focus of health in my community. More to come on NUKA after I do some further research.

I can't wait to begin this journey 6 more days!!!!
