our 1st full day

Today was a very long day, but interesting! We started out at 9:30 this morning at the Universidad De Panama (University of Panama) and had a tour of their College of Nursing and the rest of the University. There nursing school is $27 per semester or $500 for the 4 years. That doesn't even get us half of a text book at USF. We were able to talk to some students and officials on campus, also. We ate at their cafeteria for lunch, it was $1.10 for a Pepsi Light, white rice, vegetables, and fried fish. After that, we went to a private school, Universidad Latina de Panama. It was for many different medical professions. Their simulation lab was absolutely amazing with SO many mannequins in which you could do anything from the heimlich maneuver to delivering a baby. That school costs $14,000 for the 4 years. Once we left the school we went to the National Association of Nurses building. After a lonnng day of touring we finally got back on the bus, and headed to our houses. Dr. Cadena made us delicious spaghetti tonight. Now it's time to relax and get ready for another long day tomorrow!
