"Observing the profession of nursing in Ireland was very
exciting and interesting. I learned so much about nursing and health care in
Ireland and also the United States. My interest in the profession of nursing has
increased as a result of my recent trip. My goal in the future is to learn more
about nursing in other countries."

"From this experience in Waslala, Nicaragua, I learned that... as a wealthy
country we have an obligation to assist and educate those developing countries
with less knowledge and fewer resources about health promotion and disease
prevention, and nurses are just the people to accomplish this task."

skills acquired at Villanova in a culturally diverse environment where my

provide follow-up care made us recognize how important it was that we be

"I learned an incredible amount about the nursing profession in Ireland. I
was able to exchange ideas and practices with my fellow nursing students in
the Irish health care system and we all learned so much from each other! ...
Nursing in the United States and in Ireland may differ in some respects but it
is always evident that we are all united in the common ideas of compassion and
care for our patients."

"Nursing is a great career for me as it gives me the opportunity to influence
and make a difference in my patients' lives everyday and to deliver care in such
a way that it restores their humanity and dignity that is sometimes so easily
lost in a hospital setting... Through my interactions with the National
University of Ireland at Galway faculty, Irish nursing staff and hospital
patients, I gained an appreciation of other cultures and medical care systems
that I could never obtain in a traditional classroom setting. My experience in
Ireland has sparked my interest to continue to travel through my career in
nursing."
