very worthwhile. I wish we could have been there for longer. It has definitely made me aware that i definitely want to be a nurse and has opened up my eyes of different healthcare situations in low income areas. Emily D - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
The study abroad program was worthwhile and i learned a lot about the Dominican culture and health care. I also learned some emergency medical techniques that i did not know before. Kayla L - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
I would have loved to do this trip over again after I have gotten the NCLEX out of the way.

About
This course provides nursing students the opportunity for an academic international experience. Coursework will begin shortly before departure - students will receive several briefings to prepare them for the tropical environment. The following two weeks students are in the Dominican Republic where they work with clinicians from the United States and the Dominican Republic. This includes several days of nursing activities in a number of clinics supported by the Episcopal dioceses clinics. The students will also work at a major public regional medical center and make community health visits. The goal is to provide students with broad exposure to nursing in another culture and to practicing nursing in another language. The expectations are rigorous, as this is a six credit course.
