Abstract:
Global health care is now considered a component of core knowledge for 21st century professional nursing practice. The authors describe laying the groundwork for an international experience and projects resulting from a partnership with a nursing program in the developing country of Guyana. In addition, the outcomes from undergraduate nursing international learning experiences for students and practicing nurses are reported. These outcomes provide support for the integration of study abroad as a strategy for enhancing the undergraduate nursing curriculum and ultimately professional nursing practice during the early years of practice.
