Strategic planning for international nursing education.

International educational program planning is a complex process that benefits from the use of a strategic planning framework. The NANC project is presented as a demonstration model, utilizing the concepts and principles of strategic planning as outlined in the Regis Model. Developing and following a strategic plan in international nursing education is a necessity, rather than a luxury, in order to provide the necessary direction for your future providing a suggested "Blueprint for Action." Employing an effective strategic plan as your individualized "Blueprint for Action" can mean the difference between success and failure in your international "bridge-building efforts." The extensive assessment, planning, and review process identified through the utilization of the Regis Model that preceded the implementation of the NANC project was the key factor to project success. It is hoped that utilization of a strategic planning model such as the Regis Model, used in this project, will provide a general "Blueprint for Success" for those who are committed to quality international nursing education.

Teaching international nursing students: challenges and strategies.

Cross-cultural education presents many challenges and focuses attention on the significant differences in teaching and learning styles around the world. In 1995, the George Mason University College of Nursing and Health Science embarked on the Saudi-US University Project, an effort that brought these theoretical differences to life. The stark contrast between the Saudi Arabian and Western cultures provided administration, faculty, and students the opportunity to develop creative strategies to accommodate learning across cultures.
