Nursing Students Cross Borders for Care

Twenty-one Cal State Bakersfield nursing students are embarking on a historic trip to northern Argentina—marking the first time the global outreach program ventures to South America. Over 200 students have participated since 2017, traveling to places like Peru, Mexico, and Zambia, but this group faces a unique challenge: communicating with indigenous Wichí speakers through layers of language. From health clinics to workshops at local nursing schools, these students are learning to bridge cultures and care—many for the first time, including one who narrowly won a competitive spot among 300 applicants. For others, it’s a return to transformative experiences that deepen their compassion and global perspective. These missions aren’t just about clinical skills—they’re forging empathetic, culturally fluent nurses ready to make a real difference, one patient at a time.
