Abstract
American and Honduran nursing students’ lived experiences in Honduras during a nursing study abroad program were examined using audio-recorded semi structured interviews. The findings provide the Hondurans’ unique perspective of this experience and support previous research on the role of these programs in developing cultural competence. The need for further research on collaborative experiences with foreign and American health care partners was highlighted, as well as the importance of addressing an increasingly globalized health care environment in nursing programs.
