Work placement

​Málaga has been wonderful so far! I love the going around the area and capturing photos and videos of the area! For my job whilst here, I have to make a promotional video of the area so that the company “European Era” can use it for promoting its company and attract more colleges around the world to be apart of their fantastic program! I really enjoy exploring every place in the area and capturing videos and photos of the area and showing off it’s beauty throughout photos and videos! I have had issues whilst filming material for the promotional video sadly. I’ve had two local people try grab my equipment and go off with it. It is disappointing but I have decided after talking to one of the college tutors on the trip with us, not to film anymore in the city.

Now:   Hi, my name is Hannah-Mai Jones and I am currently studying Nursing and midwifery studies. I enjoy this course very much as this is the vocational area I would like to work in in the future. In my spare time when I am not in college or work, I like to spend time with my friends and family. Staying active is especially important to me, I play rugby, and this is my way of relieving any stress or worries that I have. Once I step onto the pitch, they all seem to disappear. Monday 4th of April:   I have prepared myself by packing all the clothes that I will need and making sure I have my Uniform for work placement. I have made sure that I have packed the documents that the workplace will need. I have made sure that I have my passport, European health insurance card, Digital covid certificate, Digital locator form and a negative antigen test before flying. Friday 8th of April:   We are lucky with our accommodation; it is called Calle Constancia 6. It is in the centre...

How did I prepare, and what I gained

Before coming to Malaga, I focused on learning Spanish. I researched a bit about the culture (I wish I had known more), and I planned what places I wanted to visit. I did not prepare for how much I would miss my family and how hard it can be to live with other people. I did not let those things put me down, though. I reminded myself of my goals and went forward. Sometimes I felt overwhelmed by the language barrier, especially at work. But I kept going and found my way through the obstacles. Other times I was not in the mood to socialize or go out. I just wanted some space. So I gave myself some time. Overall, I had a great time; I went to places I had never been, tried all kinds of local food, and met some lovely people. Mission accomplished. I am taking home a fantastic experience, and I couldn`t feel better.

  Blog 1: So I have settled in quite well! I’m very happy with my accommodation and the girls I’m sharing with. In the apartment there is a bathroom with a shower, a kitchenette with the necessities, two single beds and a sofa bed. We are only a five minute walk to the city centre, we only have to walk across the bridge and we are in the centre which is so handy! Our transport for work is a bus and the bus stop is only around the corner which is so convenient! The bus journey is about 40 minutes. Blog 2: So to be quite honest I’m really not happy with the nursing home. I don’t like how the treat the residents, it very different to Ireland. The reef the residents around like they’re teddy bears, they show no empathy towards them which is so disappointing. I haven’t been able to showcase the skills I have learned in college. I show the residents as much empathy as I possibly can. The staff aren’t that pleasant either. I always have a smile on my face and hold the residents hand...
