in Introduce Yourself

Hi Y'all!

I'm Cara. I will be serving as a nurse on the Peds Ward for 6 months, Aug 25, 2019 thru Feb 29, 2020. I am originally from Mississippi, but have been a travel nurse for the past 7 years. I've worked all over the U.S.! I am truly excited about this opportunity to serve onboard. I enjoy exploring new places, meeting new people, hiking/camping, and college football (does anyone know if watching the occasional game is a possibility?) I have been looking at everyone's helpful tips, and appreciate all the insight!

Can't wait to meet everyone and start serving along side you!

    Hi Cara! I want to begin by thanking you for being one of our amazing volunteer Paediatric Ward Nurses! We are excited for your upcoming service onboard the Africa Mercy.

    I know it's possible to watch some of the "bigger" games (NFL). I don't know about college games, but they do get ESPN, so it should be possible. Hope that helps.

    Cara,

    Your excitement at serving is contagious! I hope your time on board will be fulfilling and fruitful. And I hope you find some football fans with which to watch a game or two. :)

    You will find American football fans! Look for the kindergarten teacher, Miss Beth. She’s a fan (and my daughter). She says if someone has a CBS All Access subscription, or something of the sort, that games are shown in midships or in smaller conference rooms. Thanks for your service! You will be on a great adventure!
