Thank you for replying! Volunteering with children is my biggest interest, I'd love to volunteer at a orphanage, work with children or even have the chance just to observe nurses working. I really am open to anything. I have found many websites about volunteering in South East Asia, but most of them require you to commit to atleast a month, and I don't have that much time to spend there. I will be meeting a friend in Thailand and I will travel around with him for the first 2-3 weeks, and then my last 1-2 weeks I will be alone. I am too scared to actually travel around alone, so I figure that volunteering will give me a stationary location, a chance to meet some people and a whole whack of new experiences.

Hi there, I'd love it if you guys could help me out. I'm a third year nursing student in Canada, and I am planning on going to Thailand for about a month in February. I'm planning on travelling around the country for 2 weeks, and then i would LOVE to volunteer somewhere in the medical field for about 1-2 weeks in the end of February. I'm wondering if anyone has ever done this before, and how it worked. I'm open to any kind of volunteer work in South East Asia. Any help would be appreciated. Happy New Year! Heather

i waited 1.5 years...i think so short because i applied while i was still in highschool. the faculty is good. clinicals aren't until next semester for me. and there are 4 guys outta 33 in my section...not bad ratio. i wish there were more guys to balance it out a bit!

Douglas College is part of the collaborative nursing program in BC... so thats a plus.. im in my first year there..i like it! BCIT is much more intense and as a result you get to finish quicker.. its also harder to get in tho..more competitive!!
