A nya ha sayo Chong, Hee-Jung

Nursing in America is very different than nursing in Korea. We use much less traditional methods, and many nurses practice independently of physicians.

We usually specialize into different areas:

Pediatrics

Maternal-child

Geriatrics

Critical Care

Emergency/trauma

Operating Room

Psychiatric

Medical/Surgical

To name a few

We emphasize evidence-based practice. That is whatever we do we understand if it is something that has been

1) Proven to work through good randomized research,

2) Proven to work through review of records

3) Not proven experimentally, but we have seen it work

4) Not proven experimentally, but it's the way we always do it (tradition).

#4 always need to be questioned - it this practice truly effective?

Please let us know what your specific questions are.

If I remember correctly - isn't Kyong Hee University in Seoul?

You might consider contacting the nursing department at the 121 General Hospital at the American Garrison in Yongson. The nurses there are usually happy to give tours of the hospital, and show how we perform nursing. You can find the phone numbers on the 18th medcom website.

Good luck
