ABSTRACT

Despite the growing interest in enhancing the cultural awareness for nurse practitioner (NP) students who work with patients from the developing world, there is a dearth of reports on such experiences. This report describes the clinical experiences of NP students from George Mason University (Fairfax, VA) during an intensive 2 weeks in Nicaragua in their final semester, accompanied by an NP faculty member. The program was planned and implemented in collaboration with the Universidad Politecnica de Nicaragua School of Nursing (Managua, Nicaragua). The students' clinical experiences included working in a Health Post and an impoverished community. Students learned to manage clinical problems using minimal resources and acquired an appreciation for the cultural, political, and economic situations from which many of their patients in the United States originate. Recommendations for establishing this type of experience are included.
