The FB Nurses and Vietnamese
colleagues from the University of
Medicine and Pharmacy in Ho Chi Minh
City have developed and are currently
implementing the first masters in
nursing program in Vietnam. This
project will have a significant impact
on the improvement of nursing education
and health care outcomes in Vietnam.
The graduate nursing
curriculum created for this program will be
a model for graduate nursing education for
Vietnam.
Significance of Project:
This project supports the progression of
Vietnamese graduate nursing education
toward an advanced level that is
sustainable within Vietnam.
This is a key outcome if
long-term change is to occur!
The collaborative nature
of the project with Vietnamese colleagues
and the fact that it is being coordinated
and taught by volunteer PhD nurse educators
affiliated with the Friendship Bridge Nurses
Group, demonstrates |
|
the
international nature of nursing practice and
the shared goals that dedicated nurses
world-wide hold in support of improvement of
nursing education and health care.
It represents
nursing at its best!
