Russian nurse leaders are reaching out to the international nursing community for ways to modernize Russian nursing practice. As a part of this process, United States nurses are being invited to participate in collaborative relationships with Russian nursing educators. The identified collaborative process needs to be culturally sensitive to meet the needs of the inviting nurses. Nursing collaboration involves the mutual sharing of knowledge about nursing related issues concerning health and health care systems with other nurses. International nursing collaboration is complex because sharing takes place in a multi-cultural context. The purpose of this article is to describe how the process of international nursing collaboration evolved among members of three educational institutions and one professional nursing organization. The evolution of the international team’s collaborative experience is discussed including the initial preparation, the actual implementation, and evaluation. This article concludes with recommendations for future international nursing collaborative projects.
