How did you put your skills into practice during the 2015 Nepal earthquake?<\/strong><\/h3>\nIn Nepal, we get a massive earthquake every 80 to 100 years. I knew that one day, there was going to be a huge earthquake. As soon as the earthquake hit, I was\u2026it was crazy. I was in the third floor of my house in Kathmandu, and then basically, I thought\u2026it was so scary, I thought, \u2018it’s my last day.\u2019<\/p>\n
What I learned from my Red Cross training is to just start from where you are, because you are capable \u2013 you know? And apart from that, I was also a registered nurse back home, so I always had that responsibility. That, you know, I’m capable. If I’m able to do it, I have to do it. I checked all of the families in the local area, everyone I could so that I knew everyone was safe.<\/p>\n
