         During our time in Cherokee, North Carolina we have experienced many people who were very generous during our time here.  One specific time that I can remember these individuals being so generous was when we had our last clinical experience.  The Director of Nursing, Victoria, came in to talk to us and told us to never let someone talk down to us.  She also gave us her business card with her name, email address, and phone number so we were able to get a hold of her whenever we needed to.  Victoria told us that we were always welcomed back to the hospital whenever we were back to visit Cherokee, North Carolina and if we would like to come back to work at the Cherokee Indian Hospital we were welcomed.  Before we had left, Victoria had also gave us all a lanyard made from Cherokee Indian beading.  I was in love with it and I will forever cherish this lanyard.  During our time here this past week, we have donated to the Cherokee Indian Hospital's emergency room and the Cherokee Baptist Church.  The Cherokee Indian Hospital's emergency room, we had donated clothes from 5T and younger, including diapers.  The Cherokee Baptist Church, we were able to donate school supplies.  It was so amazing to see how much help we could help the Baptist Cherokee Church and Cherokee Indian Hospital's emergency room with these donations since this community lives in poverty and they are so grateful for what they are given.  The Cherokee culture is losing their language and around only one hundred and eighty individuals are able to speak the Cherokee language fluently today.  To keep their heritage for future generations, they are have a school called the Kitwauh Academy where individuals that speak the Cherokee language teach it to children from ages two to thirteen years of age.  The Cherokee language is spoken at all times while at the Kitwauh Academy which is awesome that they are trying to bring the language back.  Something that I did that was out of my comfort zone was tubing in the Oconaluftee River.  I have never gone tubing before, but it was fun.  Until I got knocked off my tube and lost it, then we had to play the game Survivor to get it back.  But don't worry, we got it!!!  😃😂 I feel that from the first day, I was scared of how these individuals were going to judge us on how we acted towards them, but they were open to us.  They came towards us and greeted us with open hands.  Not once did I feel like I was not welcomed anywhere.  I love Cherokee, North Carolina and I could see myself living here.  Possibly even working at Cherokee Indian Hospital because I love how much they run their hospital.  I am so glad that I was able to come on this trip and get to experience all these awesome experiences.  This is are experiences I will never forget and will cherish forever! 💗

  1. Alexa,
    You were such a great sport about this! You didn't panic and persevered through it all. Definitely a good trait to have as a future nurse. You definitely "rolled with it" and came out on top! Glad it all worked out well and we can laugh about it now!

JUNE 1, 2019              Today, we started our journey to North Carolina.  As we started our journey, I became excited knowing that we are going to have some awesome experiences together as a group.  Some things that I am most excited about in the days to come are able to learn more about children and the Cherokee culture.  Some of the apprehensions that I have would be that the Cherokee individuals do not like us, getting attacked by a bear or snake, and the group getting mad at each other.  As I was preparing for this course, I explored that the children of Cherokee live in poverty and in isolation.  Cherokee individuals take pride in what they have, but still have limited resources, such as medical care.  With knowing this, we have gathered donations for the children, such as clothes and school supplies.  My thoughts about the Native American people are that they are just like us individuals.  These ...

June 2, 2019                 Before visiting the Museum of Appalachia, I really didn't know much about about the individuals of this territory.  After going through the museum, I found it to be very interesting and educational.  There were several things that stood out to me while going through the museum, especially the areas dedicated to healthcare.  It was very interesting to see how these individuals used their medical supplies and how some of the medical supplies seemed to be very unsanitary.  It made me wonder how many individuals developed an infection after having a procedure done.  As I think of how the Appalachian culture is unique, I think of how these individuals live in a simple environment and are able to live completely off the land.  I discovered that Appalachian individuals look at their families and their people as a whole rather than just one.  A highlight that a I took aw...
