⦿ 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.

⦿ 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.

⦿ 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
Our experience in Indiana gave us a firsthand look at a different healthcare system and allowed us to explore nursing from a variety of perspectives, ranging from primary care to the emergency room and the ICU. In addition, we were able to immerse ourselves in American culture and share experiences that broadened our perspective on the profession.
Miriam Egea, Katia Mena, and Lucía Álvarez, 2nd-year INP students.
⦿ Singapore
Our experience in Singapore allowed us to learn about a new culture and discover different ways of understanding and practicing nursing. It was an opportunity to broaden our knowledge, learn new techniques, and, above all, discover new ways of providing care.
