The School of Nursing organizes for the students who complete the second year of the International Nursing Program the possibility of getting to know other health systems through an academic or clinical experience at internship . Thanks to the agreements that School has with other institutions, students will be able to have a clinical or academic experience.
This is a short stay (which may be between 2 and 4 weeks), with mandatory character, in which the student will acquire a broaderknowledge on different aspects of nursing that will contribute to their learning as a future professional care.
The available destinations will be informed at the beginning of each academic year.
⦿ Miami, United States
Last summer, Leyre, Paula, and Monika had an incredible experience in Miami, a safe city that is full of life and very well connected. We did our internships in the neonatal ICU at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where we learned a lot and grew both professionally and staff. We were also lucky enough to meet nurses from the Dominican Republic, with whom we shared experiences and who made everything even more special.

⦿ New York, United States
Our experience in New York was incredible and a unique opportunity that we loved. We were able to learn about another healthcare system and see how nursing works in a different environment like the United States, something we probably wouldn't have been able to experience without the university.
Lorea Sainz framework, 3rd year INP student
⦿ Chicago, United States
Our experience in Chicago was incredible and highly recommended. Both because of the city, which has so many places to visit, and because of the opportunity to see how a hospital works there. As nursing students, it was a very enriching learning experience.
Mireia Fernández Roncero, 3rd year INP student
⦿ Stirling, Scotland
Spending four weeks in Scotland visiting different nursing settings has been a unique and very enriching experience. In addition to learning how nursing works there, we have improved our English and enjoyed the scenery.
María Rezola Mendoza, 3rd year INP student
⦿ Indianapolis, United States
Last summer, we had the opportunity to travel to Indiana thanks to the University of Navarra's International Nursing Program. We visited the campus Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Bloomington, and rotated through different specialties.

⦿ Singapore
My international experience in Singapore was something I will never forget. I went as an observer in a residency program for elderly people, some of whom had dementia. I loved Singapore as a country; it is super safe.
