Globalization of Nursing Education

Speaker at Nursing Conference - Gabriel Oluwakotanmi
Chamberlain University, United States
Title : Globalization of Nursing Education

Abstract:

Global health has never been more in precarious position than this time in our lives. As the population of the world clocked 7.5 billion, we should not take the health of its citizen for granted. With increasing geographical mobility around the world, and devasting effects of highly contagious diseases plowing corners of the globe, global health is everybody’s business. Since nurses are the majority of healthcare workers, it is incumbent upon us to be part of the solution to the worldwide health crisis.
Globalizing nursing education is one of many ways to prepare nurses combat-ready for the inevitable. Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), Ebola Viral Disease and Marburg Viral Disease, Lassa Fever, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Nipah and henipaviral diseases, Rift Valley Fever (RVF), and Zika disease left destructive marks to the regions affected. We must do something about it.
The increasingly interconnected world makes it difficult to ignore health challenges from any part of the globe. A contagious disease can travel east-west, north-south of the world within twenty-four hours creating havoc of replications. Nurses at the forefront of health crisis need to prepare with universally standardized education on topics such as infection controls and preventions, the importance of vaccines, and care of the clients with contagious diseases.
