Question:
Dear Donna,
I am a nursing student going into my last semester this spring. Before I start working as an RN, my plan is to travel to a developing nation and volunteer for a couple of months. Could you suggest some resources for finding a reliable agency that will help me find the location that suits me best and also provides some financial aid?

Dear Looking to Volunteer,
There are several organizations that assist with this type of service. Check out One Nurse at a Time (www.onenurseatatime.org). Here you will find many resources and ideas for financial support.
