International RN to BSN Nursing Study Abroad Program
 Kent State University College of Nursing is proud to offer international study opportunities to its undergraduate and graduate students.
The College of Nursing is recognized at both regional and national levels for excellence and thus seeks to continue offering state of the art opportunities that will best prepare nurses to practice professional nursing in a global society.
As global health issues increasingly impact the health of all citizens and challenge all societies, we believe there is much to learn from and share with nurses around the world about creative health care solutions.
The upcoming 2011 programs are to Northern Ireland and Geneva Switzerland. Both trips offer unique opportunities for students to study and travel in a foreign country while earning course credit.

This intensive study abroad course examines the cultural, political and economic forces influencing health care and nursing needs; status of nursing education, licensure and practice; and health disparities in this country compared to the U.S. In this course, Kent State RN/BSN online students will attend seminars at the University of Ulster and in select clinical settings.
Credits: NURS 40003/50003, 2-3 credits (An additional 1-credit-hour web-based option will be offered the week immediately after the two weeks in Northern Ireland for RN/BSN online students who choose the 3-credit option.)
