#Developed the ability to view the world positively #Gained strong motivation #Touched by kindness

After being discharged from the military, I became lethargic and began to have doubts about my dream in the health and medical field. I wanted to give myself a new stimulus. Even though communication with the Cambodian nurses was difficult, they always taught me kindly with smiling faces, which really moved me. By experiencing various practical tasks, I gained a strong motivation to ''study really hard.'' I felt that firsthand experience is much different than books and videos, and I cultivated the ability to look at the world positively and to be grateful.

#I participated because I wanted to give myself a new stimulus after being discharged from the military.
Hello. I am a 23-year-old man who studied nursing for two years before serving in the military. I have been interested in volunteer activities since middle and high school, and I liked planning or participating in volunteer work. After being discharged from the military I became somewhat lethargic and started to feel doubts and anxiety about my dream in the healthcare field, soSeeking a new stimulus and looking for a proper volunteer program, I applied for Gap Year.
*Mr. Kim Yeon-seong, who worried about his dream in the healthcare field after military discharge, decided to start Gap Year to give himself a new stimulus. If you dream of a new start but find it difficult to begin alone, we strongly recommend one-on-one consulting with a Gap Year specialist consultant!

#I wanted to regain my passion for the healthcare field through on-site experience.
My goals were twofold. First,''To regain my passion for the healthcare field through on-site experience.''I felt sorry for myself because I had stopped studying nursing and continued doing other work, causing me to lose my old dream. So I set this as my first goal.
Second, ''to see and feel a lot and make memories.'' Since it wasn''t just working for a whole month, I hoped to fully experience various things in environments and cultures different from our country.
#I really appreciated that they always helped with smiling faces.
I heard that when school seniors or classmates went on clinical practice, they were often ignored or had many difficulties. I thought this activity would be similar to school practicum, so at first I was a little worried. But the nurses at the Cambodian hospital, even though communication wasn''t easy, always helped with smiling faces and kindly taught me. That was truly touching.
I felt, ''If I become someone''s senior or preceptor in the future, I should teach them like this.''
#I met many people, including nurses and foreign friends doing other volunteer work.
I spent a lot of time with various people, including several nurses, French friends who came to volunteer, Danish volunteers who worked at the hospital with me, and Koreans. In particular, one Korean who started with me and I were both assigned to the SICU (first ward), and we helped each other a lot and worked together. Afterwards, I also traveled with four Korean volunteers who arrived later and had a fulfilling time. They were later assigned with me to the MICU as well, so we relied on each other again and were able to finish well.
#I thought a lot that I should study really hard and go to the hospital.
I became grateful for many things and seem to have greatly developed the ability to view the world positively. Also, since I haven''t learned much yet, I often didn''t feel like I was directly helping patients.So I thought a lot about studying really hard to work in a hospital, and I''m glad I seem to have gained the passion to study that way.
Direct experience is really different from various books and videos. After Gap Year, my perspective seems to have broadened a bit, and I find myself thinking a lot about things I can be grateful for.
#Cambodia medical volunteer work — here''s my daily routine!
I experienced work in two departments for two weeks each. I started work at 8 a.m., finished around 12, and ate lunch. You can finish here and go home, and return in the afternoon to do more until about 5 p.m. When I arrived in the morning, I worked with the day-shift nurses. Because the team changes day by day, when I arrived I followed whoever was working, greeted them, and helped with tasks as needed or did things they instructed me to do. Basic tasks included changing bed sheets and replacing finished IV fluids, and as needed I performed medication mixing, blood draws, injections like IV, IM, SC, suction, blood glucose checks, and nasogastric tube tasks.
#My personal Cambodia medical volunteer gap year preparation TIP!
The gap year team provided very detailed guidance on the checklist and preparation process, so I was able to depart without major difficulties. Personally, I thought it would be good to know at least a little of the local language, so I studied Khmer on YouTube and also reviewed some French and English.
I recommend using your holidays or free time to go see Angkor Wat.The temples here, including Angkor Wat, were of such scale and beauty that they alone make it worth coming to Cambodia.I think it''s a destination where you could take a tour and spend about a week exploring.
#My Cambodia overseas medical volunteer gap year!
Experience ★★★★★
: I don''t think there are many places where you can have an experience like this.It would be a valuable experience not only for nurses but also for students aspiring to careers in the medical field.
Learning ★★★★★
: I was a student who hadn''t done clinical practice yet, so my theoretical knowledge wasn''t sufficient and the practical experience was my first.There were many people who taught me slowly from the very basics even if I didn''t know anything, and I was really grateful.
Environment★★★
: Compared to Korea, it''s not a great environment, but I think it''s something you have to accept.
Leisure ★★★★★
:I think Angkor Wat alone is worth five stars.
