摘要
A study abroad course adds to the academic experience of nursing students by offering exposure to other cultures, service opportunities, and an introduction to international healthcare systems. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceived impact of a student study abroad experience on the subsequent career of the professional nurse. The phenomenological qualitative study approach revealed three themes: changed personal perspectives in practice, appreciation and service orientation, and insights on the healthcare system. Nurses reported that the study abroad experience helped to shape their views as professional nurses.
