The study abroad programs I’ve heard about are in place of the “community nursing” classes. I enjoyed community nursing, and am learning a lot in public health. I’ve come to appreciate so much more about what it takes to keep a community healthy and help them to thrive. Studying abroad in a third world country might show us the ins and outs of the basic functions and needs of the community structure, and the incredible role that health care can play in its composition.
Our nursing schools offer so much to us, but a chance to study abroad would be a cherry on top. I’m sure there are so many reasons that stand in the way of all schools giving us this opportunity, and they’re rightfully understandable. Maybe there is some other way that I will get my chance to work on another continent somewhere. I’ll put it on my “things to do in my lifetime” list, but until then – is there anyone out there with stories of a study-abroad nursing experience?
