title: Models and strategies of collaboration across countries in doctoral education.
abstract: This paper addresses the globalization of nursing, especially as it pertains to doctoral nursing education. Its purpose is to consider the issues surrounding cross-country doctoral education as identified by doctoral students and to suggest models and strategies that could be used to facilitate cross-country doctoral education. This paper is based on published sources, conversations with doctoral students and personal observations. Nursing, in order to become globally relevant, should develop an independent body committed to cross-country doctoral education. This body should be committed to facilitating and organizing programs that provide opportunities for students and faculty to attain experiences abroad. Several models incorporated under a comprehensive strategy are suggested in this paper.
