Advancing Nursing Education in Vietnam

Following the conference, I conducted a workshop for experienced nurses in Phú Thọ Province. These interactive sessions covered patient assessment tools, including the Braden Scale for pressure ulcer prevention and nursing care planning. The combination of theoretical lectures with bedside teaching enabled participants to immediately apply their learning in a practical setting.

It was an enriching experience to collaborate with the nurses as they provided high-quality, team-based care to their community with dedication and compassion. This observation influenced my teaching strategy, leading me to refine lesson plans daily to align with the nurses’ expertise, specific patient needs, and the hospital’s public health priorities. Drawing from Nurses International’s open-access resources and current U.S. evidence-based practices, I focused on building nurses’ confidence in independent assessments. The nurses’ enthusiasm and active participation not only inspired me but also transformed my teaching approach, contributing significantly to my growth as an educator.

Before departing, I had the opportunity to present at another conference, sharing my passion for leveraging digital technology to enhance global nurse mentorship and foster stronger international nursing partnerships. This is a topic I am deeply engaged in and committed to advancing.
