International student exchange in higher education has substantial impact on students' personal and professional lives. Using a critical hermeneutic approach, this case study explores how undertaking international practice modules abroad might even enhance nurse students' abilities as carers, which is an essential element of nursing practice. The context is a nurse education programme in Norway from 2005 to 2017. The empirical material were analysed with a directed content analysis applying elements of the virtuous circle of intelligent kindness. The findings indicate that relational characteristics like attentiveness and attunement with others are strengthened whilst abroad. The discussion explores how international practice modules influence nurse education: embarking on the nursing profession in another country and the development potential in feeling lost is opening new views of education.
高等教育中的国际学生交流对学生的个人和职业生活有重大影响。本案例研究采用批判解释学方法，探讨了在国外进行国际实习模块如何增强护生作为护理人员的能力，这是护理实践的重要组成部分。研究背景是 2005 年至 2017 年期间在挪威进行的一项护理教育计划。通过应用智慧善良的良性循环的要素，对定向内容分析进行了实证材料分析。研究结果表明，在国外时，注意力和与他人的协调等关系特征得到了加强。讨论探讨了国际实习模块如何影响护理教育：在另一个国家从事护理工作以及在迷失感中发展的潜力正在为教育开辟新的视野。
