Institute for Johns Hopkins Nursing (IJHN)

The Institute for Johns Hopkins Nursing (IJHN) is the central point for coordinating and supporting international activities for Hopkins Nursing. We ensure that Hopkins Nursing’s excellence in clinical practice, leadership, and education benefits international professionals (and vice versa) through our consulting and custom programs.

The Institute for Johns Hopkins Nursing offers observational visits to The Johns Hopkins Hospital. We arrange visits for individuals and groups who want to learn more about our nursing practice and organization. We host clinicians, educators, and nurse leaders from around the globe. To learn more about this program please visit the IJHN website.

“We're not just focusing on needs in other countries,” says Jane C. Shivnan, director of the Office of Global Nursing. “We also help our local immigrant communities, Hopkins nurses who want to volunteer overseas and international nurses who seek training and practice opportunities here.”

The Office of Global Nursing is part of the Institute for Johns Hopkins Nursing, a cooperative partnership between the university's School of Nursing and the hospital’s Department of Nursing.
