Introduce Yourself

My name is Jessica Crosby. I am a sophomore nursing major at Clemson University. Before even picking which college I would attend, I knew I wanted to be able to study abroad somewhere. However, with nursing’s strict curriculum, it is very difficult to make this happen for most students. When I got to Clemson, I was introduced to the Global Health Certificate program that the university offers. It is a four-week trip to a developing country where future healthcare students go and work and live in the community. As soon as I heard about this, I was on board. I saw this as my one opportunity to be able to travel out of the country for school, while still being able to learn so much about my major and a different culture. This blog that I have created is a requirement for one of the classes that must be taken before travelling out of the country, but I have learned so much from it and am glad that I had the opportunity to research these different topics.
