One of the main themes we are learning is that Communication is the #1 reason that medical failures occur (i.e. accidental death, medicinal mix-ups, etc). So, we are to practice "communicating" with the community as one of our clinical opportunities as a way to prepare for the medical industry.
Women at the clinical site taught me and several of the other nursing students how to knit today. I learned how to cast a (long-tail) slip knot and knit my first row of thread! We knitted for an hour & it completely relieved me of stress. After knitting 3 rows I felt that I was a well-accomplished knitter. I think I'll return to this same group of knitting ladies next week! You know... to "communicate"!
