An international collaboration to support and mentor palliative care nurses was developed between two educational institutions in the New England region of the United States and the Hospice Casa Sperantei in Brasov, Romania. Through teleconferences, onsite visits, research, and shared publications, the collaboration continues to be a dynamic experience for the partners and students. The seven-year relationship has affected the Romanian nursing team by providing professional education and support, as well as validation of clinical practice.
