Study Nursing Abroad

Can I study nursing in another country?

Sure. Studying nursing study abroad is popular because there are always plenty of nursing students who would love the opportunity to visit a foreign country while receiving college credit and an expanded education. Not only can you learn more about what it takes to be a nurse, you can interact with people from other cultures which will enrich your way of dealing with people. Interpersonal skills is imperative for a nurse to have.

What colleges offer these programs and where can I go?

Studying the health care technology in another country can be very educational for those pursuing a nursing degree. Most universities are going to offer some type of program. For instance, the University of Virginia offers:

a summer study program in Denmark

a semester program in New Zealand

a South Africa program for those in the Distinguished Majors Program

The programs offered by any one school may change from year to year. Be sure to check with the student advisor in charge of this department for full details.

Can I do it and get paid?

For some students there are work study programs where you practice nursing under a supervisor with real patients. This helps you:

learn clinical, hands-on skills in a real world environment

it teaches you to bridge cultural and communication gaps

Even if you went to a country like England where English was spoken, there would still be differences because of regional dialects. You would be surprised how different some British speech sounds from American.

Studying nursing abroad has many advantages.: Any hospital or doctor's office you were to apply with would see that you have been overseas to study nursing and this would count as a plus on your application or resume. It is not mandatory for nursing students to participate in foreign study and the ones that do, demonstrate a willingness to go above and beyond the minimum and stretch themselves academically.
