Abstrakt: As nursing educators strive to increase cultural competence among students, it is important to consider professional development in the process. There are resources available to faculty in the form of small grants, and conference attendance/presentation monies. The author shares experiences related to travel to the 6th National Nursing Congress "with International participation" to Cappadocia Turkey. Discussion will include practical aspects of securing monies for travel opportunities, and post journey reflections that have been integrated into improving teaching of cultural content.
