The possibility of meaningful international educational exchanges for nurses in postgraduate/postbasic nursing education programs might seem far-fetched. Scope of practice, registration issues and standards, even organization of schools and universities would seem difficult issues to overcome. In 2010, a consortium of some seven schools of nursing in the United States, Ireland, Portugal, Norway, Slovenia, Denmark, and Malta opened a dialogue about curricular meeting points in postgraduate nursing education. The evolution of the European Union and the Bologna Accords (European Commission, 2008) have created an environment where a search for curricular meeting points is possible. One such meeting point involved student exchanges. This article will explore the experience of two consortium member schools in developing and operationalizing an exchange.

Prostate adenocarcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of men in the United States and is the third leading cause of death in men. Despite attempts at early detection, there will be 244,000 new cases and 44,000 deaths from the disease in the United States in 1995. Therapeutic progress against this disease is hindered by an incomplete understanding of prostate epithelial cell biology, the availability of human tissues for in vitro experimentation, slow dissemination of information between prostate cancer research teams and the increasing pressure to “ stretch” research dollars at the same time staff reductions are occurring.To meet these challenges, we have used the correlative microscopy (CM) and client/server (C/S) computing to increase productivity while decreasing costs. Critical elements of our program are as follows:1) Establishing the Western Pennsylvania Genitourinary (GU) Tissue Bank which includes >100 prostates from patients with prostate adenocarcinoma as well as >20 normal prostates from transplant organ donors.
