Toteutustapa

Welcome to this collaborative online course!

In this course we will examine the ethical dilemmas in nursing and in healthcare professions. During the course students we will also analyse country specific ethical guidelines nationally and internationally. During this course, nursing students will be able to compare their experiences related to ethical dilemmas in nursing and discuss about them with colleagues from different countries.

Learning context can change very rapidly in education, this COIL project can help students to develop intercultural competences and learn with and from nursing students from other countries. This course will be organised together with UCLL Belgium, HVL Norway and SAUDE Portugal.
