Nursing Health Missions

Mission Opportunities

Nursing is an ideal profession for those who desire to serve others. In addition to the many clinical opportunities, the nursing curriculum offers numerous stateside and international health care missions clinical opportunities. Since the first graduating class in 1977, nursing students have participated in health care missions as part of the nursing curriculum. Both short term (7-10 days) and long term (4-6 weeks or up to a semester) opportunities are available. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in health care missions as a part of their nursing experiences.

In fall 2007, Harding University in Zambia (HIZ) was begun. This International Programs site has a health missions emphasis and nursing students are encouraged to participate in this semester-long experience. Students may work toward completion of their Health Missions Minor while participating in the HIZ program. This type of experience greatly enhances students’ cultural awareness and provides additional opportunities to follow in the footsteps of the Great Physician. Contact the nursing health missions coordinator for details.

Mission and health mission opportunities abound. NURS 2100, NURS 3050, NURS 3440, NURS 4130 and BMIS 3020 are available to enrich knowledge and skills with missions and health care. See the nursing health missions coordinator for details. Students are encouraged to consider obtaining a leadership and ministry major or a health missions minor or a Bible and ministry minor for Nurses. Details are available in this catalog and can be provided by the director of admissions in the Carr College of Nursing.
