Residencies or extended programs in latin america?

Nursing Students NP Students

Published

I would like to study in Brasil, Argentina, Colombia, or possibly another Latin American nation for an extended period (at least 3 months, but hopefully 6mo-1yr). I am a ANP already, but could do a post-grad for my Family, Emergency/Acute, or a DNP. The job market is so utterly horrendous doing a residency or fellowship wouldn't really hurt anything and might help me if I could gain actual experience managing patients versus all the jobs that are more bureaucratic where I am at. I haven't found any longer term programs so am curious. Or could I do an online program but receive my hours abroad somehow?

Thanks!

That is an interesting idea. The nursing field promotes cultural diversity, and yet it lacks in connections with non-US opportunities to gain a non-US education experience. I was thinking going to Latin America or S. America also for my nursing education post BSN. I wonder what other people would think of your idea or answers to your question.

I lived in S America for 2 years and as far as I know there is no such role as an NP. Might be different in different countries, but I'd be surprised.

There's not NPs (outside federal facilities in PR), but there are short term programs run out of nursing schools of liken 2wks-1 month. I was looking for longer options.
