MPI Students Benefit from Participating in the Greater Bay Area Nurse Cam
MPI Students Provided First Aid Teaching Service to Guangzhou Middle School Students
During summer vacation, the School of Health Sciences and Student Affairs Office of Macao Polytechnic Institute (MPI), and the Sun Yat-Sen University (SYSU) co-organised the "2018 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Summer Nurse Camp" with the theme of "Learn Lingnan Culture, Discover the Essence of Nursing". Approximately 20 MPI students, together with students from China and Hong Kong, gathered at SYSU in Guangzhou to participate in the 2-week nurse camp.
Founded by Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, SYSU is a first-class modern comprehensive university in China with distinctive advantages in medical sciences, and there are 10 hospitals affiliated with the university. For the purpose of enhancing students' understanding of the nursing education in China, and the history of Lingnan humanities and culture, there were lectures organised during the nurse camp on the topics of “The Status of Nursing Education in China” and "Lingnan History and Culture", as well as arranged visits to the Guangdong Museum, Haixinsha Asian Games Theme Park, the Museum of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen and Zhongshan Zhan Park. Teachers and students of Hong Kong and Macao also introduced the developments of nursing education in Hong Kong and Macao, thus promoting the professional exchanges in the field of nursing among Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. MPI students were given the opportunity to do practical training at the First Affiliated Hospital and Cancer Center of SYSU, to enrich their knowledge and clinical experience of medical science and nursing. Moreover, MPI students went to the No.71 Middle School of Guangzhou to provide first aid teaching service in English to approximately 200 middle school students.
Student Choi of the MPI Nursing programme said that through participating in this nurse camp, her understanding of the new concepts in the fields of education and management of modern nursing had been deepened. She also benefited a lot and learned about the knowledge of radiotherapy and chemotherapy by visiting the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Ward. Student Chao felt both excited and nervous to be a volunteer teacher. However, while looking at the middle school students who study earnestly, she realised the responsibility and fulfillment of being a teacher. She put a lot of effort into preparing the lessons and teaching in class, and therefore earned the Guangzhou middle school students’ approval and friendship.
MPI indicates that based on past experience, this year's nurse camp not only provided opportunities for students to understand the development of nursing professions, the scale of tertiary hospitals and the practical operations of nursing staff in China, but also highlighted the element of Lingnan culture to enhance students’ understanding of the value of Lingnan culture and the cultural cohesion of the Greater Bay Area. Therefore, the summer nurse camp was able to bring great benefits to cultivate students' professional nursing skills and promote the cultural exchanges among students in the Greater Bay Area.

陳旖樺―護理學課程3年級
中山大學的護理教育有近百年的辦學歷程，培養了大批優秀護理人才，能身臨其境是一種很深刻的體會。我們參觀了醫學博物館、護理技能教學中心及聽了各種講座，讓我對廣州及內地的護理現況有了更多認識，而各校的介紹也讓我領略到三地的護理教育概況。
中山大學附屬第一醫院為國家三級甲等醫院，是華南地區醫療、教學、科研、預防保健和康復的重要基地。在兩天的見習中，中醫的門診及病房確實令我大開眼界，甚至讓我們親自嘗試拔罐療法，是一種不同於西醫護理的新體驗。而在第71中學的英文義教使我最難忘的無疑是一班可愛的學生了，在他們身上我看到了認真， 他們為了表演節目每晚排練、揮灑汗水，看見這樣的畫面，讓我覺得青春無悔。
陳麗敏―護理學課程3年級
我從夏令營中收穫了許多東西、提高了自信、結識了新朋友、得到了更多新知識。在中山醫院見習的四天，讓我見識到中國內地醫療設備的先進，並很榮幸能夠到心內科及中醫科實踐，這兩個科室是我從來沒有到過的科室，實在令我大開眼界。而在專業的腫瘤科醫院中，學會除了腫瘤科病人的生理照護外，也要照護其心理。除此之外，在不同的參觀體驗中了解到嶺南文化的博大精深，更到各歷史博物館參觀並了解不少偉人事蹟。 而在義教的過程中，我是第一次當老師，第一次用英語教學，第一次領導一個班。學生們非常乖巧，對學習很有熱誠，面對著如此優良的學生讓我對老師這個職業產生了憧憬及更加尊重。
能參與這次護理專業夏令營，我感到十分榮幸。在夏令營中，認識到不同的朋友，學習到護理的知識，更嘗試成為了一名老師。
張宇森―護理學課程2年級
十五天的「粵港澳護理學專業學生暑期聯合夏令營」給了我一場深刻的回憶。
我最期待的是前住中山大學附屬第一醫院和腫瘤醫院進行參觀和見習。我在這四天裡看到的和學到的都令我大開眼界，在腎外科進行見習期間，碰上觀看腎臟穿刺手術的機會，在澳門是不能到手術室觀看醫生做手術的，所以這次機會十分難得。而在腫瘤醫院期間我到了胸肺科進行實習，這個科室是我第一次接觸，學到了如何處理一個病人的出院、入院、術前、術後的護理、靜脈留置針的護理和更換。此外，還看了針灸和拔罐等的中醫知識，還親自嘗試了拔罐，真是一個難忘的體驗。
關振龍―護理學課程2年級
這次夏令營是一個難得的機會，讓我學習到嶺南文化，還和中山大學的學長姐們進行交流，開闊了我的視野。
看到行程表上有一個星期的義教活動，我的心情是激動又擔心的，激動是因為我第一次做老師；擔心是因為我怕做的不夠好。剛來到第71中學，看到一張張年輕的面孔，心想該如何讓他們聽我上課呢？我就讓同學們說說自己的夢想，到最後一天又讓他們再說一次；看到他們從一開始的羞澀，到最後變得充滿自信，真的進步很大。短短的六天相處下來，真的感到疲憊又快樂，回想起臨走那天，同學們一個個揮著手跟我們送別，大家都捨不得彼此。祝願他們能考上好大學。
馮昕―護理學課程1年級
今年七月，是充實的，是熱血的，是值得回味的。第一個星期，我們在中山大學附屬第一醫院和腫瘤醫院見習。在中大附一醫院，我見識到不同的中醫療法，如刮沙、艾灸和穴位注射等。令我感到最新奇的是穴位注射，原來除了一般的肌肉、皮內、關節注射外，還有穴位注射，而且穴位注射也有不同的技術，例如放射式注射。在腫瘤專科的見習更令我歎為觀止，我被安排到深切治療部見習，那裡的護士比其他科室都多，每張病床旁邊都有維生儀器。
另外，義教也令我印象深刻。義教前的備課、教材的不斷更改和授課時沒有得到回應，讓我暸解到當老師的辛酸。但在與學生相處的短短六天裡，我獲得了純粹的友誼。感謝在廣州的相遇、相伴，並一起把這個旅程畫上最完滿的句號。
