A journey to comfort and warmth

February 07, 2023by: Emmanuel Junior Nweke - NigeriaProgram: Study Abroad at the American University of Beirut

Like the rising of the sun, slowly brings warmth to a cold day, that's how I can describe my experience at AUB. The people of Lebanon sometimes say they can be rude, but what I found out is the issue of trust, the people are rich in hospitality and once they trust you, they make you feel at home, and give you comfort and warmth. At the end, everyone would miss their time at AUB.

A Guide to Nursing Degrees Abroad

Best Locations

Nursing degrees vary from country to country. When evaluating your nursing degree program abroad, keep in mind that credentials earned in another country often need to go through a verification process by your future employer.

Some of the strongest nursing degrees abroad are found in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. As fluency in your program’s main language is highly important for communication, both during university lectures and on-site work, the latter countries are a great choice for students that are fluent in English or native English speakers.

In the United States, the demand for nurses is much higher than the supply, making nursing job opportunities more prevalent throughout the country. Three of the most prestigious universities in terms of nursing degree programs in the U.S. include the University of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of California - San Francisco.

If you want to improve your foreign language skills as you earn a nursing degree abroad, consider attending a nursing school in Spain or Turkey. While some class options will be in English, your daily life outside of university will involve a deep cross-cultural experience in either of Turkey or Spain.

What Else You Need to Know

Course levels. Nursing degrees abroad at the undergraduate level focus on a multidisciplinary approach to understanding adult care management, maternal-child health, community health, and mental health. The final stage of a nursing degree program usually involves hands-on preceptorship. A graduate level nursing degree usually involves approximately one to two more years of study on top of an undergraduate degree in nursing. During a master’s degree program in nursing, you’ll focus more on critical thinking and decision making needed in the field. Finally, if you have the passion to become a nursing leader or advanced practice clinician, with a desire to examine current theoretical and practical health issues, obtaining a doctorate degree in nursing might be the right path for you.

Your future is bright. Gaining the international experience while abroad, my lead you to working a nursing job abroad, too. If not, you’ll come back home with an abundance of knowledge.
