Prof. Jan Rodd, Nursing In India Program Coordinator
In the November 1984 issue of the Albany Junior College Report, I wrote of my first experience in India.
“During the two weeks of extreme stress, including a bomb scare, and while working under primitive conditions, we were able to reflect on the real reasons we chose the medical field as a profession. It all boiled down to the fact that we all really cared for people and wanted to help them in whatever way we could. For me, the trip provided a great challenge and required me to utilize my basic nursing skills and the nursing process daily with strong emphasis on teaching. The small part I gave was returned many times over by the Indian people.”
The bomb scare was a tin of biscuits left unattended on a counter. The trip changed my life in so many ways. I have been serving the poor and underserved for over 35 years. There have been no regrets and I look forward to sharing this life changing experience with many of you.
