2019 IWU FREEMAN ASIA INTERNSHIP: SAINT FRANCES CABRINI MEDICAL CENTER
Emily Lezcano
Home: Welcome
WELCOME TO MY BLOG!
Hi! My name is Emily and this is my blog dedicated to sharing my experiences in the Philippines. I am currently a nursing major going into my senior year at IWU. I will be in the Philippines for 2 months working at St. Frances Cabrini Medical Center with my fellow classmate, Elia. While at Cabrini, we will be rotating throughout various units of the hospital and participating in on the job training (OJT). Make sure to subscribe to get insights on what living and working in the Philippines is like!
Traveling and experiencing new cultures is one of my absolute passions and I'm excited to share this journey with you! I've studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain and in Hawaii before so I'm eager to compare those experiences with my time in the Philippines.
