College Notes: February 2018
The trip was the culmination of a cross-cultural nursing course and required the participants to work in a hospital in Tanzania.
The semester leading up to the trip was spent "book-learning" about politics, health care, government, agriculture, environment, social and lifestyle, culture, and religion in the East African country through the Cross-Cultural Nursing course taught by instructor Christa Berthiaume and Assistant Professor Joanne Steele.
While in Africa, the students utilized their skills by volunteering in a small hospital in Arusha and learned how nursing care in Tanzania differs from the United States. They lived in a hostel-type home and ate typical East African food. Time was utilized learning about how perceptions and experiences as first-world citizens impact how we care for patients and view people.
