title: Ophthalmic nursing delegation to China.
abstract: On September 18, 2001, ASORN sent an ophthalmic nursing delegation to the People's Republic of China. Planning for the trip occurred during a tumultuous year. However, our warm reception in China made us feel safe, cared for, and overwhelmed by the generosity of a people we had just come to know. This article describes the process of preparing for this experience of a lifetime, what we learned from the ophthalmic nurses and doctors we met, and what we learned about ourselves along the way.
