Abstract:
The establishment of a hermanamiento (sister school) partnership between Duquesne University School of Nursing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, and the School of Nursing at the Polytechnic University in Managua, Nicaragua, is described. Also discussed is the Regis Group Model, under which the hermanamiento was developed, and suggestions of how to develop a similar international nursing partnership. One component of a comprehensive model for international partnership and collaboration is presented in detail. The activities and goals that were established and implemented by both schools of nursing provide a philosophic and transcultural backdrop on which the program was based.
