Final reflections

Back to Italy, back to the exams. away from Pori, away from the IP, away from all of you.
It has not been easy, actually it keeps being hard to get back to usual life-style, but it had to be like this. What I can say now is that I came back not as I went away more than two weeks ago. Lots of my ideas has changed, lots of my thoughts has improved as well as before going to Pori I had some shadows upon nursing viewd as a profession, about the capabilty of being nurse around Europe, about maybe too many differences in education, learning theories, fields of developing our profession, about nursing considered as indipendent and autonomous job, without the heavy presence of doctors, imposed above our head in Italy.

Well, now, after theese two weeks, after our incredible group working, after we mixed up each other trying to find a common train of thought wich could guide our different experiences, points of view, cultural, ethical, social and historical features due to manifold differences between us, after all this I have to say most of my shadows almost desapear, and let the sunshine in!

Usefull Intensive program, to understand how much work is waiting for us but in the same way we understood that we can do it, we have to do it, 'cause Europe and the whole world is changing and we have to keep in step with theese changes because of our unique purpose, because of them, because of our patients, the only common aim of nurses all over the Europe and all over the world.

So I would like to thank you all. I have learnt a lot from all of you students, mentors and academics. It's just thanks to you, thanks to MINE, thanks to this intensive program I can feel better thinking on my future profession, without shadows anymore, without any feeling but optmism!

Never forget this, never forget you,
Indri
