A tale of teaching in two cities.
Internationally, nurses are health care educators, in institutions, clinics and field sites. This article describes a cross-cultural experience of sharing health care teaching methodologies, between a nurse from Israel and a small group of Ethiopian nurses in Addis Ababa. These nurses were working to prepare groups of Ethiopian Jews, through health education, for the transition to life in Israel. It is a prime example that nursing is without borders. This period of teaching produced a mutual learning experience of great value for the local nursing staff and visiting lecturer, which may provide useful insights for other nurses working in cross-cultural conditions.
