Linda Paija – BSc Adult Nursing – Bhairahawa, Nepal
During my placement, there are many valuable opportunities to learn through real-life scenarios. I actively seek out these learning opportunities and my supportive lecturers are always willing to listen to any problem I have and provide assistance.
The area where I am staying is safe and clean, and I feel comfortable being out untill 10 or 11 at night. Compared to other cities, it is very clean and the abundance of greenery adds to its charm.
Additionally, the people are incredibly friendly and always greet me with a smile.
