Past Review
By Emily D (Nursing., SUNY - Binghamton) for
SUNY Binghamton: Juan Dolio - Community Health in Dominican Republic
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
very worthwhile. I wish we could have been there for longer. It has definitely made me aware that i definitely want to be a nurse and has opened up my eyes of different healthcare situations in low income areas.
