Abstract This project aimed to explore the cultural competence of third-year undergraduate nursing students. A retrospective, quantitative, quasi-experimental design was used to collect data from 15 undergraduate students who took part in a three-week travel abroad community clinical to Thailand during 2019. Students engaged in reflective journaling. Data were collected before and after travel using the 20-item Cultural Intelligence Scale. Post mean scores were higher than presurveys, indicating that students improved on cultural competency overall. All subcategories showed a positive difference, and the results were overall statistically significant.
