In August-September 2013, five MECN and two APN UCLA nursing students were granted scholarships to travel to Oaxaca, Mexico for UCLA School of Nursing’s very first “Global Graduate International Experience,” which was organized to both promote cultural competency within the students and foster international relationships with Latin American host nations. For 10 days (?), the students were deeply immersed in Mexican culture. Aside from living with Spanish-speaking homestay families, eating “chapulines” (pan-fried grasshoppers) by the spoonful, visiting ancient archaeological sites, and attending Spanish classes daily, they had the privilege of being the first nursing students ever to be granted entry into Oaxaca’s district hospital, Hospital Civil, and shadow both nurses and physicians. Under the guidance of Dra. Magaly, the medical director, they learned about the newly enacted “Seguro Popular,” Mexico’s health insurance for its low-income and unemployed population, and observed first-hand both the benefits and the ramifications of its implementation into Mexico’s health care system. In the smaller community clinics, the students saw how the government provides stipends to families according to their attendance of primary care measures. Participating in “windshield assessments,” the students also witnessed the incredibly vital role that the nurse plays in the health promotion of patients living in rural communities. Furthermore, the students held a presentation at a local children’s center to promote healthy oral care. The experience was not only educational but also humbling and eye- opening; we cannot thank UCLA SON enough for allowing us all such an invaluable opportunity.
