I'm looking for medical missionary trips for nursing students. I'm currently in a BSN program and I'm looking for trips either during spring break or over the summer. Does anyone know of groups that let nursing students go or where I should look? Also if you have went on a trip and was a student can you tell me how it went? Thanks everyone.

There are a lot of companies out there that take students to volunteer in different countries, but the price that they charge is outrageous! I decided to go with International Volunteer HQ. They so many different options, and the prices are more realistic. I've talked to volunteers who went with them and I heard nothing but good stuff. Check out their website : Volunteer Abroad | International Volunteer HQThey also have a facebook page with more than 16,000 members... there, you can talk to other volunteers and ask about their experience.Log In | FacebookHope I helped :)
