Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In response to the need for culturally competent care, faculty can instill in students the desire to become culturally competent practitioners by providing the opportunity to participate in a short-term study abroad immersion experience. While this strategy is not considered cutting-edge or revolutionary, changing global dynamics warrant rethinking this curricular option. Nurse faculty conducted two short-term study abroad courses in Croatia. Students explored health care and nursing education in this Eastern European country and participated in a service-learning project. Based on their experiences, the authors offer five dos and five don'ts for planning and implementing a successful study abroad course. |
