The College of Nursing (CN) welcomed eight students from the Japanese Red Cross Hiroshima College of Nursing for their International Study Program from Feb. 10 to 21. Their two-week program focused on primary care and health systems, providing them with valuable experiences.

During their first week, the students immersed themselves in CN’s partner communities in Maragondon and Ternate, Cavite, where they engaged in community health activities alongside CN’s fourth-year nursing students undergoing intensive clinical exposure. In their second week, they explored urban healthcare by participating in activities at the CN campus and observing patient care at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH).#
