Description:
Brenda R. Lind MSN, RN, CAPA, CPAN, CNL recently returned from six months of Peace Corps service as a Nursing Instructor in Uganda, where she taught Medical-Surgical nursing alongside her Ugandan counterparts at Busitema University. While the structure of nursing education is much the same here, the practice environment is not! Adapting to a lower-resourced healthcare environment and learning about how Ugandans rise to their challenges was an amazing experience. Join us as Brenda shares her Uganda teaching experience.
Learning Objective(s):
At the conclusion of this learning activity, participants will be able to describe one nurse’s lived experience as part of a Peace Corps service trip in Uganda to provide Medical-Surgical nursing education in a lower-resourced healthcare environment.
