Question by Eleanor: Can a student travel abroad for nursing?
I love the thought of traveling and experiencing new cultures. I know nurses can work in third world countries. However if I wanted to is there a program to study nursing in London or Spain or some other European country?

Answer by everythingspeachy2000
I know of a nurse that just did that…but I don’t know HOW she did it. Michigan State has a program and others do too…just google it and you can see…maybe your college has one…ask!

One group of college students is embarking on an international adventure to find themselves, framed by a filmmaker at odds with his own past. Theyre leaving behind the comforts of their lives in the United States to spend five weeks as foreigners studying abroad throughout Italy. While some are seasoned travelers, others have never stepped out of their state lines, let alone the country.

There’s Leslie, an undeclared sophomore, who has never traveled alone or abroad and has no idea what to do with her life. While Leslie may be starting up her college career, Ansley is winding it down, completing her final two courses here before starting work in the fall. Matt, a first time world traveler and agnostic, is leaving home and his girlfriend behind, while John, a devout Catholic who struggles with a modern romance, is reconciling his place in a world at odds with his religious beliefs. Together, these four young adults, mired between the age of innocent youth and adult responsibility, are discovering a destination that Henry Miller described as ‘…never a place, but a new way of seeing things.’

JamesWorks Entertainment presents Di Passaggio, a Professor Pauper production, directed by James Kicklighter (That Guy: the Legacy of Dub Taylor), based on the journals of Preston Johnson and Scott Singleton, featuring Leslie Beard, Ansley Brackett, John DiPietro, and Matthew Kines. J. Michael Moncrief (The Legend of Bagger Vance) is the narrator. The producers are Kicklighter and Mark Ezra Stokes. The executive producer is Brian Holt. The consulting producer is Michael Cardillo. The associate producers are Jonathan Pope and Gareth Jones. The original score is from Bruce Kiesling.

First of all, there are some obvious mistakes in this video regarding Dutch and English. I am truly sorry for my Dutch pronounciation as well as my lack of proper English. My intentions are merely to get students interested in Study Abroad. This is the first addition of my video blog from Den Haag, NL.

On a side note, if anyone can tell me how to edit video clips from a Kodak camera, I would be extremely greatful. Thanks. I am learning new things everyday.

Due to the lack of nurses in the United States and abroad, the demand for more nurses in specific areas has started what is called travel nursing. Travel nursing positions allow for qualified nurses to work in different areas around the country or overseas where nurses are currently needed. It is an excellent opportunity for nurses looking to travel and work in different area. There are some requirements a nurse must meet before being able to apply for these travel nursing opportunities.

A nurse will need to work through one of the many agencies that specialize in finding and securing travel nursing positions. These agencies will be in charge of getting a nurse in contact with jobs that are looking for their area of expertise. No agency would be able to access every travel nurse job available so it is possible for nurses to apply through several agencies. By doing this they’d have access to more potential jobs.

There are travel nursing positions for every field, ranging from pharmaceutical jobs to Oncology and OR jobs. Basically there are openings for any type of specialized training. A nurse will need to have worked at least one year in the field in order to apply for these positions and must also have a nursing license from their state. Some jobs may require more experience than one year but an agency will be able to find a job that works with whatever experience a nurse has.

Part of the appeal of working in one of the many travel nursing positions is the opportunities it opens up. Most of these jobs last for a few weeks during which time nurses can set up wonderful living arrangements with their agency. They can also choose to get a living stipend and find their own apartment which could increase their income substantially. Often these temporary positions will lead to long-term opportunities if the hospital and the nurse are a good fit for each other.

If the excitement of international travel appeals to you, then you might want to think of being an international travel nurse. Of course, finding a placement agency is going to be the first key to doing that, and in a detailed search, only agencies placing nurses from overseas into the United States came into play. However, if the program works the same way, the placement agency or employer will make all arrangements for your travel and the obtaining of your visa and green card to allow you perform your assignment internationally. You will also need a work permit, which will be obtained for you as well.

International travel nursing can provide a worldwide wealth of knowledge, especially if you are interested in working in some of the poorer countries instead of those with a wealth of riches to offer. The challenges of working in a country that speaks a different language, has a different culture, and has different medical needs can be crucial to the expansion of your nursing knowledge. The development of worldwide knowledge that you are able to take home with you can make the experience one that will allow you to greater utilize the skills that you have learned.

Becoming an international travel nurse can also provide you with a scope of knowledge in the travel field, allowing you to travel while at the same time, performing the job that you love. Perhaps you have something to offer the country where you are placed, and can bring back some of their knowledge as well. The combination of the two knowledge bases can ultimately be beneficial to patients on both sides of the global community. The sharing of knowledge in the medical field is the key to the entire world knowing how to treat the diseases that plague our people, and the utilization of international travel nurses, both into other countries, and from other countries into the United States, will make that happen. Each has knowledge to share, and a skill that is unique, so the working together of the two cultures can only improve what each country is already practicing.

International travel nursing can be a rewarding experience for both the nurse and the people she is sent to serve both culturally and medically. The placement agency knows how important this is and will strive to make certain that each nurse is placed where the needs can best be met within the scope of her desires. If nursing in another country appeals to you, be sure to contact one of the companies that places nurses internationally and be on your way to an unforgettable cultural experience while expanding the scope of your medical knowledge.
