UPEI nursing students' trip to Egypt cancelled

Four University of Prince Edward Island nursing students are unhappy that a propagandize has cancelled their pursuit placements in Egypt since it's not safe.They were chosen to transport to Egypt in Feb as partial of their fourth-year pursuit placement, but now, a federal government is recommending opposite nonessential transport to Egypt since of a domestic incident there. I was a little disappointed. I know safety is very important. Obviously, I don't want to go if it's unsafe, tyro Gloria Smith pronounced Wednesday. But I was still just unhappy that there's not a better domestic incident that wouldn't allow us to go there and have that domestic experience.Instead, a students will be working in hospitals upon a Island.Student Lindsay Williams pronounced that wont look as good upon their resumes when they graduate this spring. Well, an event similar to this doesn't come around very often. To go with a school, and a propagandize that's recognized all around Canada, to go to a foreign country it just wouldn't happen very often, she said.Kim Critchley, vanguard of nursing at UPEI, was upon leave and training in Egypt when a overthrow strike its peak. She pronounced its not protected to send students to a country, which is still experiencing violence.It's one thing for a highbrow to go, an adult to go. But it's a different incident to send students there to do something upon behalf of a university, she said.I mean, we are totally responsible for them and it would be inattentive upon our partial to send students to a country where a transport advisory is saying please don't travel.The nursing department's relationship with Egypt began with a help of UPEI's brand new president, Abd-El-Aziz, who is from that country.The outing would have been a university's first nursing placement there. Critchley pronounced this will not be a last event for nursing students to use in Egypt. She pronounced she's already planning placements there for next winter.
