Grad student looking for Global Partner

Published

Hello,

I am a graduate nursing student in the Chicago area looking to communicate with a graduate nurse to learn about nursing in your country. I would appreciate learning about education, nursing issues, treatment of nurses, the practice of nursing etc in your country. Thank you! Linda

Hello and welcome. You will be able to learn about all these things simply by perusing this board on a regular basis. However, I am sure someone will ofeer to be your Global Partner - is that part of your education course?

Thank you Madeleine for replying. I am a RN working full time enrolled in a master's with a major in nursing program in the Chicago area. One of the requirements for this semester's course is to communicate via email with a master's prepared nurse or master's program student in another country in order to learn about nursing in their country.--Linda

rnicare - you may have a problem finding a masters program student here. Having a degree is regarded as pretty unusual here (I have a couple of degrees). Most nurses educated recently in the UK have a Diploma - 3yr course.

Good luck. I see you have asked the same question on the Canadian Board - perhaps you'll find someone there.

What about the critical care forum? You might well find someone there. The old ITU qualification (ENB 100) is not offered any more. The ITU post registration qualification now forms part of the Bsc in Critical Care so it isn't that unusual to find degree qualified nurses in ITU.

I have to say though that I don't know of any ITU 'shop floor' nurses with a Masters.

Specialist nurse posts often require a Masters degree.

Good luck with finding a penpal, it can be done (hi Evelyn in Poland!)

Hi Sharrie! I was reading the thread of this conversation and saw that you are also a Masters student. I took this opportunity to ask you if you can be my global partner, hoping you are not from US, are you? If so, will you be so kind to be my global partner?
