Not only is globalization expanding areas of human activity, it is also influencing the variety of educational offerings in universities. Therefore, globalization must be considered by nurse educators as they reevaluate ways of preparing nursing students to meet the health care needs of populations they currently serve and will care for in the future. Study abroad programs have been encouraged to be part of the college experience in the United States for more than 30 years; however, these programs have been relatively lacking in nursing education. Most of the study abroad programs described in the nursing literature are research-based or first-person accounts of an experience and provide little information about planning a study abroad program. This article describes a study abroad learning experience for senior nursing students and discusses the issues such as student selection, student safety, and available clinical experiences that need to be considered before undertaking such an endeavor.
全球化不仅拓展了人类活动的领域，也影响了大学提供的各种教育。因此，护士教育者在重新评估如何培养护理学生以满足他们目前服务和未来将照顾的人群的医疗保健需求时，必须考虑全球化因素。出国留学项目在美国已经被鼓励成为大学体验的一部分超过 30 年；然而，这些项目在护理教育中相对缺乏。护理文献中描述的出国留学项目大多是基于研究或以第一人称叙述的经历，几乎没有关于如何规划出国留学项目的信息。本文描述了一项针对高年级护理学生的出国留学学习体验，并讨论了在进行此类尝试之前需要考虑的一些问题，如学生选拔、学生安全和可获得的临床经验。
