Policy
This policy guides visits during a formal educational exchange program, either graduate or undergraduate, for international students visiting the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Nursing. For purposes of this policy, exchange students are international students that come to the College of Nursing for either a short experience or a full semester experience. International students (hereafter referred to as students) may have patient care responsibilities if they are directly supervised by faculty or a preceptor. Students may take up to three classes for credit (see policy 5.2.10) from UNMC. A certificate of completion may be provided at the end of the experience for students who have engaged in class or clinical experiences and who are not receiving other academic credit.
Procedures
The host school will follow these procedures:
- It is customary to receive up to four or five students from each international location at any one time. Both the number of students and the length of the experience can be revisited as needs change.
- Academic qualifications and standards, i.e., admissions criteria, including English proficiency, must be met by students who will be taking courses for credit.
- International Nursing Program Director will coordinate all schedules of courses and clinical facilities with the permission and approval of participating nursing faculty members and or the Director of the BSN/MSN/DNP/PhD programs.
- International Nursing Program Director will be the focal point of all communications and will be responsible for determining final class and clinical schedules, in cooperation with key course faculty leaders. Host students will volunteer to share Nebraska cultural and social experiences.
- Students may request clinical observational experiences outside the chosen course and clinical experiences if this can be arranged outside the assigned learning activity.
- If an unusual situation arises, the International Nursing Program Director will be contacted. The Director may also work with the Housing Coordinator, and/or the Director of the Office of Global Engagement.
