Hello, I will graduate in Dec 07. I have always been very interested in getting involved with groups such as Dr. without borders or other organizations. I would love to have the opportunity to utilize my knowledge as a nurse in other countries even at a volunteer service. I'm not real sure though how or who I would get a hold of to get started on something like this. Any advice or leads would be very appreciated. Thanks :spin:

You'll need a BSN-RN in order to legally work outside the United States.
