Developing and Sustaining a Study Abroad Program as Viewed Through a Caring Lens

Facilitating global learning for students of nursing presents unique challenges. In this paper, the authors describe a study abroad/away program for faculty and students. This experience is part of the students’ plan of study within their 4-year curriculum. The infrastructures needed to initiate the program and lay the foundation for building, implementing, and maintaining the experiences are defined. Students’ blogs are shared in order to illustrate caring nursing practice. Projected plans for future activities and the evaluative dimension are discussed.
