The ripple effect
One experience.
Many possibilities.
An international experience can be the beginning of something larger. LBB encourages participants to carry ideas forward through the people they teach, the teams they work with, and the communities they serve.
Share knowledge
Bring colleagues and students into the learning through presentations, workshops, and simulation.
Explore change together
Work with others on locally appropriate ideas for practice, education, quality improvement, and patient safety.
Inspire the next connection
Mentor others and build professional relationships that keep the exchange going.

Learning, leadership & future direction
Participants rated how much the program influenced each area on a scale from 1 (Not at all) to 5 (Very much).

In participants’ words
The learning behind the numbers.
Reflections from the 2026 evaluation capture new ways of thinking about care, leadership, and what to bring home.
Clinical reasoning
I want to approach my studies with a stronger focus on the rationale behind clinical decisions so that I can take responsibility for my own practice and provide appropriate care to patients.
Flexible leadership
I learned that leadership should not be confined to a single fixed style or an idea of how a leader “should” be. Instead, it is important to adapt one’s leadership style flexibly depending on the situation, timing, and needs of the team.
New possibilities
This program deepened my interest in pediatric emergency nursing and also made me want to gain even more experiences, meet more people, and continue expanding my own possibilities.
Taking learning home
I also hope to share what I learned through LBB with as many people as possible and continue spreading the ripple of positive change.
Building evidence over time
Following the learning beyond the program.
LBB plans to follow participants over time to understand how learning develops into action. The proposed approach combines measures of knowledge and confidence with participants’ accounts of teaching, clinical practice, and professional growth.
At program completion
Understand the immediate learning
Explore knowledge, clinical confidence and reasoning, perspectives on nursing autonomy and leadership, and intentions to apply or share learning.
Around 6 months
Learn what participants put into action
Follow educational activities, colleagues or students reached, attempts to change practice, mentoring, collaborations, and quality improvement or patient safety activities.
6–12 months and beyond
Look for change that lasts
Explore sustained practice changes, new education or simulation activities, organizational improvements, leadership development, and continued sharing of learning.
