Gallery of Trips
Nursing Beyond Borders is currently being operated solely by volunteers. These are some of their previous missions. Please see our application page if you are interested in joining us on a future trip.
Orphanage and School Mission in Bucerías, Mexico
Nursing Beyond Borders saw 250 children and educated over 1,000 children and families between 3 schools and 1 orphanage. We built databases for follow-up assessments by local healthcare providers, and sent a nurse to help facilitate getting the children to the local providers.
Orphanage Work in India
Morgan spends many summers in India practicing yoga, but also donating his time to a local orphanage. He uses this time to develop relationships with the orphaned children, and keep their vaccinations current. He also partners with doctors and clinics to follow-up with the kids after he leaves.
Orphanage and School Mission in Reynosa, Mexico
Nursing Beyond Borders saw over 250 children in Mexico, and over 50 family members between the two orphanages and one school they visited in April 2018. Databases were built from the assessments so that on future visits we will be able to track how much of an impact our interventions made!
Pediatric School Clinic in the Dominican Republic
Linzi spent time at a school funded by a US non-profit. Here she helped with physicals, vaccinations, and eye exams and established a database for the organization. The nursing students also prepared curriculum to teach about proper hand hygiene and oral care prior to distributing toothbrushes and soap to the kids.
Partnerships in Cebu, Tacloban, and Manila, Philippines
Nursing Beyond Borders now has partnerships with different organizations throughout the Philippines. In the future Nursing Beyond Borders will be sending a team of nurses to Cebu and Tacloban. We have already sent individual volunteers here as well. If you are interested in one of these individual opportunities please complete an application.
Clinic work in the remote hills of Guatemala
Linzi traveled with medical students, nurse practitioners, and fellow registered nurses to provide medical exams to those that would otherwise be without healthcare. This care was provided through different mobile clinics in remote areas throughout Guatemala.
Partnerships in Siem Reap, Cambodia
Nursing Beyond Borders is partnered with multiple organizations and providers in Siem Reap, Cambodia. We have sent a team of nurses there for two weeks, and currently have a follow-up nurse there during the Covid-19 pandemic. To learn more about all the good that has been accomplished please watch our video recap of 2019 here.
