Nursing Internship in Asia

Ayush

Our Nursing Internships Abroad will take you to amazing locations whilst providing you with valuable work experience to enhance your career and broaden future job opportunities. Taking place across India, Nepal, Vietnam and Cambodia, this volunteering program gives nursing students and pre-nursing students an eye opening insight into the medical world of a developing country.
Whether you’re taking a gap year to travel, looking for an internship to break up your studies, or about to go on a nursing course at university, our Nursing Internships Abroad are extremely beneficial to your nursing training. Working in a new environment not only helps you develop professionally, but everything you experience and everyone you meet along the way will help you grow personally. This is as much a spiritual journey as it is vocational, and all of our medical volunteers come back with much more than just work experience and a dazzling resume.
