Nursing Students Without Borders (NSWB) is an international, not-for-profit health care-related non-governmental organization created and led by nursing students in conjunction with relevant fields of science and humanitarian aid which focuses on improving living conditions where poverty exists both internationally and in the United States.
The newest addition to the National Nursing Students Without Borders is Fairfield University, which can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairfield_University.

Ivey, PhD .
