Nursing Students Without Borders

Nursing Students Without Borders (NSWB) Mission Statement

NSWB is a student run organization committed to addressing domestic and international health disparities while expanding the perspective of the individual nursing student.  By developing leadership skills, cultural awareness, and innovativeness in resource-poor settings, nursing students will become better prepared both personally and professionally to provide culturally competent health care within our increasing global society. 

In collaboration with the OHSU Global Health Center, we strive to promote global health education, advocacy, and service.  NSWB strongly believes that optimal health is an essential human right. 

Through a combination of leadership, creativity, and determination, NSWB strives to increase awareness of the challenges facing underserved global communities and works toward encouraging a healthier future for all people around the globe.
