International Immersion Programs
The School of Nursing routinely offers overseas courses for RN's and currently enrolled nursing students. The program offers contact hours for RN's in fulfilling their continuing education requirement. Nursing students who enroll in these programs receive academic units that will fulfill either their GEC requirements or Nursing elective. The primary focus of these programs is nursing history. An example of these programs include:
Guatemala Immersion Trip

This immersion experience is part of a semester long nursing prerequisite entitled, ?Global Issues and Community Health?. This course and the post immersion reflection session are designed to ensure that this field experience is part of a larger and integrated learning initiative.
