Step out of your comfort zone in this highly enriching program that lets you apply your nursing skills to help people in need. ELEP Volunteer and Internship Programs provide amazing opportunities abroad in Ecuador. This is an ideal program for registered nurses and nursing students interested in lending a hand in busy community healthcare foundations, municipal medical centers, or government hospitals.

Registered nurses can meaningfully contribute by providing professional and quality patient care. On the other hand, nursing students will gain hands-on nursing experience by assisting local nursing staff.

As a volunteer nurse, your duties include (but are not limited to) the following: 
- providing direct patient care (hygiene, feeding, etc.)
- performing technical functions (weighing patients and taking their blood pressure and other vital signs)
- monitoring and observing patients
- ensuring that oral medications are administered on time
- preparing patients for physical examinations
- assisting in the physical transfer of patients

Live your dream and make a positive humanitarian impact. Volunteer as a nurse in Ecuador!
