Welcome

Welcome to my blog. I hope that this proves to be an effective way to keep in touch with the many of you as I plan to hit the trail at the end of August. God has opened a great door of opportunity for me to travel and teach nursing with BJU. It is amazing to see how God has and is continuing to work in my life. I ask for your prayers as I continue on this journey and that God would be glorified in everything that I do.

Today brought another check-off: tracheostomy cleaning. The girls did a really job and I have posted some pics at shutterfly. The other week I gave a test over nursing interventions. One question asked them to explain certain types of restraints. One specific type is called a mummy restraint. I was tickled at one response that said "A type of restraint that holds a child together". I just laughed as I envisioned all these little children running around in mummy outfits to keep them together. They never cease to come up with some of the funniest sayings!!!

First Day!!!

My first day in the classroom was yesterday, Monday, 9/25. In the picture, you can see where I had a student write my name in chinese. They think it is so funny that we try to learn chinese, but they are so helpful in our learning. I taught two different classes of students for three periods (40 minutes) each. I taught class 1 from 0945-1145 and then taught class 2 from 1300-1520. By the end of the day I had used up all of my 30,000 words and was ready to just sit and listen for a while. I actually have three different classes of students and I taught class 3 today from 0945-1145 and then had office time until 1630. We officially have 118 freshman and they are divided into three different classes to make it a little easier to teach. For the next two weeks the freshman are in an orientation phase and we are given more time to teach. So, for these weeks I teach each class a total of 5 periods a week. That makes about 15 hours a week. My voice will need some encouragement. After the orien...

Want to go to the zoo?...

Wow, it has been almost two weeks since my last post. I keep forgetting that I have this blog...please forgive me!! Since I last posted I have been to the zoo. Yes, the school took us to the Shanghai Wild Animal Park and it was very nice. The weather was beautiful, there was a cool breeze and I got to see the pandas!!! It was much like a zoo in America, but the areas that housed the "ferocious animals" were areas that you could drive through and see the animals in their own enviroment. They had acres to run on, not just housed in small areas. I have posted pics at www.cholshouser2000.shutterfly.com . The funniest part of the day was seeing the dogs that were on display! Yes, dogs! They had Lassie, and a beagle, and a golden retriever; it was so odd to see them in areas like the other animals. One thing that they do here that we don't in the states is that you can buy chicks to feed to the alligators and chickens to feed to the bears. That really caught me off guard. The b...
