Internationalizing nursing: valuing the multiple places and spaces of nursing education.
Effective internationalization of nursing education means looking outside one's comfort zone. As Heinrich (1997, 2001) has shown, nurses can reflect on the risks related to maintenance of the status quo and perceptions of nurses' ways of being, and also become heroic in their educational approaches. If nurses are willing to learn from each other, regardless of where they received their nursing education, it is possible to enhance the rich tapestry of nursing actions, experiences, and expertise. The articles in this issue focusing on international nursing education provide greater insights into current research in this discourse and provide nurse educators with further knowledge that will enhance curriculum development and implementation, as well as professional nursing relationships.
