Greetings, I am trying to determine the role of the NP - if any - in developing country settings. I am a current BSN student with a background in international public health. I am interested in global nurse education and community health nursing, but have no desire to serve in a managerial position. The pursuit of an FNP appeals to me, however I have heard that it may be unnecessary if I wish to pursue global nursing. I understand that expat nurses often do not engage in direct patient care, though I have also heard that NPs serve a role in some humanitarian assistance organizations such as MSF. What are the advantages to obtaining an FNP if one intends to work overseas? Is an MPH/RN sufficient? Any insights would be greatly appreciated...
