In partnership with the Office of Global Initiatives at Columbia’s School of Nursing, six DNP Acute Care students participated in the Global Student Experience at the University of Jordan and completed their global nursing practicum for six weeks in Jordan (April 4-May 13, 2022).

The students are Kellene Mullin, Nataliya Pinyuk, Alexandra Galdi, Nadeen Eliyan, Colin DeMeritt and Emily Ankiel. They learned about the Jordanian healthcare system and the role of nursing and midwifery, and were also engaged in a clinical project. Dr. Jeanne Churchill, Assistant Professor of Nursing at the Columbia University Medical Center, served as the group’s faculty liaison. The Amman Center provided a home base for the students when they first arrived and throughout their stay. A farewell lunch was organized for the Columbia nursing students with their local student counterparts, nurses, and the faculty they engaged with from the University of Jordan.
