The trip to Nicaragua was one of the best experiences of my life. I left feeling hopeful about the future of these families. Despite the current social and political turmoil in the country, the children at “La Escuelita” were happy. Their parents exhibited a great amount of perseverance just to survive each day. I learned a lot from our preceptors, who were knowledgeable and resourceful in finding solutions for the healthcare problems in the school. I realize more than ever that as Nurse Practitioners, we have so much to offer our patients and we have a responsibility to the global community.Paula Rosales
