Significance and Influence of Globalization:

The Perspective Views of Nursing Students at Liceo de Cagayan University

Globalization has been the major phenomenon of the Contemporary World ushering in its

new generation of advances, developments, and ideas that would undeniably change the world

for the better or for the worse. One of the many important feats of this event is evident in Higher

education, where systems, policies, and institutions are being transformed by the

interconnectedness of Globalization. Higher education institutions are more important than ever

as mediums for a wide range of cross-border relationships and continuous global flows of

people, information, knowledge, technologies, products, and financial capital.

We conducted a survey among Nursing students of Liceo de Cagayan University to know

and analyze their views of what a Global Nurse is about, as well as the Level of Influence and

Significance of Globalization in the following aspects of its influence on the college and

development. The relationship between respondents' profiles and globalization is not

deterministic or uniform. Different individuals within the same demographic group may have

distinct experiences and perspectives on globalization. Moreover, globalization itself is a

complex and evolving phenomenon, and its effects can vary across different regions and time

periods. Thus, the respondents’ opinions of what makes a Global Nurse may vary greatly as well

as the Influence and Significance of Globalization.
