Bangkok Hospital Pattaya chosen by training centers
A group of student nurse
aids will be studying at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya
at the end of this month.
The local Bangkok Hospital Pattaya has again been
chosen by nursing centers throughout Thailand to train student nurses
and nurse aides.
Ramboriruk School, Udonthani branch, sent 10 students for three months
of rotational training, both in the in-patient and out-patient
departments at the hospital, with the successful students finishing
their training in September this year.
Ramboriruk School is only one of the centers which uses the Bangkok
Hospital Pattaya in their training curriculum, and over the past 12
months the hospital has trained nurse aides from Nakhon Ratchasima,
Chiang Rai and Chonburi.
A further group of six student nurses will be commencing at the hospital
on September 24 and will be trained on site for the next three months.
The Bangkok Hospital Pattaya is recognized as a center of excellence,
and the training schools make use of this to give their students the
best opportunity in Thailand for solid grounding and attainment of the
highest skills possible.

On the 16th of September, a group of about 60 students and teachers from
the Regent’s School Pattaya worked with Wat Mai Nern Payom Thai School
on the ‘Clean Up the World’ project, which is held every year throughout
the world. The two schools, plus members of the Lions Club of Jomtien,
spent two hours cleaning up the beach at Ao Udom.

At first, we didn’t know whether or not the beach was clean so we were
worried that we wouldn’t have much work to do. But that was not a
problem. There was a lot of rubbish on the beach such as tyres,
toothbrushes, sweet packets, plastic bags, straws and much more.
All students and teachers put their gloves on, grabbed a plastic bag and
started collecting rubbish. Some students tried to dig out a tyre which
was buried deep in the sand. Others picked up straws and plastic bottles
which were all over the place.
Although it was not sunny, we were all sweating and exhausted by the end
of the day. But it was worth the hard work and we were all very proud of
ourselves as we looked back at the clean beach. After the hard work, we
were treated by the Thai school who gave us refreshments and some fried
rice.
Even though this event seemed small, it signified one of the most
important themes in the world and allowed students to notice the
importance of conserving the environment and raising awareness of the
many environmental problems we face today. We realised that even though
it may be easy to throw rubbish away, we need ten times the effort to
pick it up.
