An international nursing course. The health system, England

As nurse educators look to the curricula of the 21st century, there is growing interest in developing for students a global understanding of health care as practiced in other countries. At Loyola University, Chicago, an elective course provides an opportunity for students to study in England, a country whose system of health care differs significantly from that of the United States. This course is available to both graduate and undergraduate nursing students, including registered nurses who are studying in a degree-completion program. It is planned and conducted in collaboration with the European Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (formerly the Frances Harrison College of Nursing and Midwifery) located in Guildford, Surrey.
