The nursing student at AUA gets an experience that just flat out is not available to students at other nursing schools. It all begins with a school located right in the heart of the Caribbean. The tropical paradise of Antigua is famous for its beaches, scenery, and climate that combine to create a locale that, for lack of a better word, is perfect!
Antigua also contains a tremendous mixture of cultures and histories. The island has roots in British, American, Portuguese, Lebanese, Syrian, and African cultures. This offers a tremendous opportunity for any nursing student to use his or her nursing school as an opportunity to interact with ideas and people from all over the world.
None of that is to imply that AUA is disconnected from the North American mainland. In addition to the school being accredited with American institutions and licensing boards, the island’s official language is English and U.S. currency is accepted almost universally. There is a reason that numerous Americans retire to the area.
Combine all of this with a top level nursing school that allows you the opportunity to practice in the United States, it becomes obvious that the nursing student at AUA is one lucky individual!
