INTRODUCTIONWelcome to DiscoveRN!
This issue delves into Global Health in Nursing. As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, nursing plays a pivotal role in addressing global challenges, advancing health equity, and delivering care across borders. In this issue, we explore climate change’s impact on health care, ethical considerations in global health, and Houston Methodist’s efforts to expand nursing education worldwide. We highlight international nurses’ contributions, share stories of global outreach, and emphasize the importance of cultural competence and international collaboration. We hope this issue inspires you to think globally—and act locally—to advance health for all!
