Nursing students reflect on outreach trips to Costa Rica, Micronesia
This summer, two groups of California State University, Bakersfield nursing students left town for different corners of the world. With one group in Costa Rica and the other in Micronesia. Their outreach trips varied in many ways, but for both sets of students, their time abroad gave them more than just an opportunity to practice their skills.
“I knew I was going to be interacting with people from a different culture and learning new things from them,” said senior Jaspreet Kaur, who went to Micronesia. “Now, I feel like it has left such a deep impact on me. I think I’ll never be able to get it out of my mind, how just 10 days can have such significant mark on you.”
From June 3 to June 11, 15 students went to Costa Rica, with another 18 students taking the trip to Micronesia from July 21 to 31. The only overlap of the two groups was nursing professor Krystal Ball, who organized these trips and last year’s inaugural global outreach trip to Peru. These trips take students away from their hectic nursing curriculum and reconnect them with the reasons they want to go into the medical profession.
