Week One in Phan Rang

Phan Rang, Vietnam-Joanne Peyton, ReSurge volunteer nurse.

Pictured here is anesthesiologist Dr. Rosalia Tocco giving two Nepalese nurses (joining our team from ReSurge’s program in Nepal) a talk on the topic of airways. The session began with an airway discussion and already, in a matter of a week, they have quickly become PACU pros. It has been a great pleasure having these nurses join our team. Their enthusiasm is contagious and they don't hesitate to jump in. Each team member has given them a presentation and in the last week we have covered topics such as pain management, complications of anesthesia and setting up a PACU.

My hope is to someday see them working in a recovery room in Kathmandu. I'm proud of ReSurge for playing a part in their professional development and that I was able to participate as well!
