Nursing Volunteer Programs

Volunteering for nursing abroad might be one of the most rewarding opportunities you can undertake. You get to build skills, help diverse populations, work with colleagues who are equally dedicated to serving others, and build your professional portfolio. At the same time, you’ll be able to pursue incredible adventure, take advantage of some great benefits (including insurance and room and board!), and explore the opportunities for future paid work. If nursing is your chosen path, then nursing volunteer programs abroad are an exceptional place to start, refresh, or add to your career!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Volunteering abroad as a nurse, whether you’re a student or you already have a license, is a great opportunity to boost your career. It allows you to gain medical insights while making an impact on local communities.

Registered nurses can volunteer in Ukraine, with the government and several NGOs constantly looking for ways to help the army and civilians. Relevant experience and the ability to work in stressful environments are required for such roles.

The duties of a volunteer nurse vary based on previous experience, program location, and organization. Nursing students typically assist local doctors, while licensed nurses carry out more hands-on tasks (if permitted in the host country).

Nursing volunteers are needed globally. Thailand is an ideal destination for health education, while South Africa is popular for HIV/AIDS placements. Costa Rica and Peru are for volunteers interested in a Spanish-speaking healthcare setting.

Great experience! Michael was amazing! I have been an many trips and Michael is one of the best. He took care of us in so many ways and went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND!!!! Very available, friendly, helpful. From helping with lost luggage to area recommendations to help in clinic he was the best. The medical clinic was more successful with him. The rest of the staff was also exemplary and helpful.
