Description

In this inspiring episode of CSP Nursing: Beyond the Calllight, we explore how nurses are making a difference on a global scale. Our guest, Katie DeJong, shares her journey as a nurse leader and global health advocate, offering insight into what it truly means to provide care that transcends borders, cultures, and circumstances.

Together, we unpack key questions:

  • How do we define global health, and why is it vital for nurses to engage in this work?
  • What global experiences have shaped Katie’s personal and professional growth?
  • How can nurses address challenges such as infectious disease outbreaks, maternal-child health disparities, and access to care in low-resource settings?
  • What can nursing students and new graduates do to get involved in global health — even if they can’t travel internationally?

Katie also reflects on how global health work strengthens the very core of nursing — compassion, adaptability, and cultural competence. From community partnerships to ethical practice, her insights highlight how nurses can lead change both abroad and at home.

Whether you’re a nursing student dreaming of working internationally, a faculty member guiding the next generation, or a practicing nurse seeking deeper purpose in your career, this episode will challenge you to think beyond boundaries and imagine the global impact of your care.
