Yeungjin College (President Choi Jae-young) announced on the 3rd that it successfully operated the ‘Global Field Learning’ program by dispatching nursing students to New Zealand as part of the ‘2024 Overseas Advanced Technology Education Training’.
Twenty outstanding second- and third-year nursing students who demonstrated excellent performance in on- and off-campus global programs were selected for the ‘Global Field Learning’ program.
Students from the Department of Nursing at Yeongjin College attending orientation at NZSE University in New Zealand.
They recently participated in a two-week field learning program at NZSE (New Zealand Skills and Education College) in Auckland, New Zealand, as well as at primary healthcare institutions such as Flatbush Medical Centre and Gracedale Rest Home & Hospital, gaining practical experience in global nursing.
At the NZSE New Lynn campus, they experienced education and training on New Zealand’s healthcare management system, nursing practice English, and job training using virtual simulations.
Additionally, at Flatbush Medical Centre, they studied New Zealand’s primary healthcare system through health checkups, treatments, vaccinations, chronic disease management, and health consultations, and conducted on-site practice. At Gracedale Rest Home & Hospital, they directly experienced nursing practice through interviews with nursing staff and institution tours.
Along with this, through a special lecture invited from the head of KOTRA’s overseas employment division, the participants learned overseas employment strategies and engaged in local cultural experiences, providing the students with valuable opportunities to cultivate a global mindset and gain diverse experiences for overseas employment.
Kim In-seop (third year), a participant in the field learning, said, “I improved my practical English skills through patient and nurse role-playing, and it was meaningful to learn the actual nursing process by experiencing nursing assessment and medication explanations during hospital practice.”
Bae Se-hyun (third year) said, “Experiencing the roles and duties of overseas nurses firsthand was an opportunity to further solidify my dream of working abroad. I will develop the ability to provide the best nursing care to patients from diverse cultural backgrounds.”
Lim Chae-yoon (third year), president of the nursing student council, said, “Through this field learning, I deeply felt the diversity of the global medical field,” adding, “I will actively share this valuable experience with juniors and strive to create opportunities for many students to participate.”
Baek Joo-yeon, head of the nursing department, said, “The global field learning program is one that simultaneously enhances foreign language skills and major practical competencies, and student satisfaction is very high,” adding, “We will continue to actively support various programs to nurture talent with a global mindset and competitiveness.”
Through this global field learning, Yeungjin College nursing students gained practical experience and confirmed their potential for growth as global nursing professionals. Yeungjin College plans to continue its unwavering support to cultivate talent equipped with global competitiveness.
