This year, as part of UW Global Month hosted by the Population Health Initiative, the Center for Global Health has asked nurses in global health to share their experiences going from training to practice. Many students ask us what skills a nurse needs to succeed in global health or what a career in the field looks like as a global health nurse. Hopefully, this event will give nurses a chance to meet other nurses who have that experience. The Center for Global Health Nursing aims to achieve global health equity and knows the impact nurses have on reaching this goal through clinical care and policy work. The event will include nurse panelists and then breakout sessions with organizations or fellowships that may be of interest that you can drop in on at your leisure.

That interest soon turned into a passion as she continued taking global health courses and traveling abroad to do prison ministry in South Africa. As a current nurse and DNP candidate, she is discovering her role in global health and how her skills and knowledge, in partnership with a country and its communities’ expertise, can be used to improve the health and wellness of the vulnerable and underserved populations. She is currently working on a capstone project with SEED Global Health addressing best practice for needs assessments in the hospital/inpatient setting.
