About
An Introduction to International Nursing Program offers nursing students at the undergraduate level who have yet to receive their licenses an opportunity to apply what they are learning in their schools by assisting with wellness checks at primary schools, offering foot care clinics, and by engaging in public health projects like the installation of high efficiency stoves in the homes of families. The high efficiency stove helps recipient families have better health by providing a means of venting smoke outside the home, better economic well-being because of the need to burn less wood, which in turn provides a benefit to the environment and surrounding forests. In 2018-2019, 15 primary schools were offered wellness checks including fluoride treatments for cavity prevention to over 2,000 young students. Foot clincis were provided on five different occasions, and 69 stoves were installed. All clinical experiences were carried out under the supervision of faculty traveling with the team and Guatemalan doctors. The students are given learning opportunities that introduce them to cultural concerns in healthcare practive by NHI staff and their partners in Guatemala.
