“Health itself is a global issue and nursing is a global process. There are nurses throughout the world and I would really like to give students an opportunity to connect with other nurses in other countries, especially in developing countries…I’ve been working with a nursing program in India for the last eight years. I have a course that I’ve developed called, ‘International Nursing in a Developing Country’. This gives students an opportunity to really see what is going on in other countries, to be able to do some comparisons, and to provide service when they go (to a developing country). Their education is not just textbook; it’s a living, breathing, viable piece that they can take with them forever. When you work in a developing country, it has a way of transforming you and changing you in wonderful ways.”
