Friday January 8th, 2010Today we returned to Pateros where we were paired with UP Manila nursing students. Their assignment was to utilize the family care approach while visiting clients in their homes. The clients presented with either diabetes or a history of stroke.
The experience was very rewarding and allowed us to work allongside the UP students and collaborate while delivering care. All of the U of S students noted how thoroughly the UP students assessed their clients and built a strong and trusting relationship with the family.
To wrap up our two days in Pateros we went to Jollibee with Sir Jerry and the students. Here we were able to try a variety of things from sweet spaghetti (with ham and hotdog pieces) to Yum burgers. (For those of you who don't know, Jollibee is the number 1 fast food chain in the Philippines... Not even McDonald's trumps it)

We hope that you all had fun today. It's a great experience meeting you guys. Hope to see you again :)
