US Nursing Student seeking help with Global Health Project

World International

Published

I am a senior year nursing student at UMASS Lowell in the US. I am doing a group project titled Global Health. We are focusing on nursing students in other countries and what their experiences have been in the role transition process from student to nurse. If anyone has a few minutes, could you please answer any of the questions below? Thank you!!

1. After school, what steps do you have to take to attain a license? (i.e. NCLEX)

2. Do you have a choice about what field you begin working in?

3. What does your school do to aid you in attaining a job?

4. Do you feel adequately prepared to begin working independently?

5. How long does orientation generally last for your first job? Are there new graduate programs?

6. Can you explain a little about what the role of an RN in your country encompasses? (leadership? team member? just do certain skills? collaborate with other members of the HC team)

7. What do you feel will be your biggest challenge going into your first job?

8. Is horizontal hostility an issue in the hospitals in your country?

9. What is a typical yearly income for a new graduate in your country?

10. Do the hospitals in your country provide their employees with a good benefits package?

11. Do you feel that you will be respected as a new graduate in your first job, or is that something that must be earned?
