Q&A with students who traveled in August 2014
“The warm salty night air greeted our group upon arrival to Jamaica. Eight of us, including our clinical instructor, began a two week cultural immersion trip to Kingston and surrounding areas of Jamaica . . . . Keeping an open mind and viewing the culture as different rather than good or bad is essential to having a good experience while on a cultural immersion trip. I recommend a positive and open attitude to the people, culture, and food: including the amazing curry and jerk seasonings!”
– Lesley Cates, ABSN graudate
“The trip to Kilema Hospital, nestled in the shadows of Mount Kilimanjaro, was a truly eye-opening and life changing experience . . . . I was not as shocked by the poverty, road conditions, living conditions or the general lay out of the country upon arrival. I was, however, absolutely amazed at how happy all of the people of Tanzania were all the time . . . . The patients walked miles to receive care, sat in line without a single complaint and were extremely thankful for all of the care they received. ”
– Newt Turk, ABSN graduate
