CareSeek. com, an online social network where nurses recommend healthcare providers, offers nurses both education and adventure with a 10-Day Tour of Italy which includes 10 hours of CNE (Continuing Nurse Education). Planned for late October, 2008, the "Italy Dream Tour" (http://www. careseek. com/content/promo5.aspx) represents the first in CareSeek's Travel and Learn program, specifically designed to provide inspiring vacations to those seeking a global perspective of culture and care. The itinerary is appropriate for all travelers over the age of 12, and provides alternative activities for those who do not wish to participate in the educational features.
The inspirational tour begins in Rome, where a private visit to the Vatican is arranged, followed by Florence, a winery tour in Tuscany, Bologna and Venice. In keeping with the healthcare theme, the tour includes medical museums and the birthplace of Florence Nightingale, plus a hosted visit to a modern Italian health clinic. The curriculum, is being presented by Shannon E. Perry, RN, PhD, FAAN (http://www. careseek. com/content/content_05.aspx), researcher and Professor Emerita, School of Nursing, San Francisco State University, and provides 10 hours of accredited nurse education. CareSeek has created the Italy tour to promote an appreciation of the Renaissance of medicine, as well as sharing modern protocols with today's care providers.
When Gale Wilson-Steele, CEO of CareSeek, Inc., surveyed nurses in order to select the inaugural "Travel and Learn" destination, she discovered, "While nurses give their lives to helping others, they dream of exotic escapes. We've designed a custom tour that fulfills CNE requirements by offering an international and historical viewpoint of medicine as well as the adventure and charm of an Italian vacation." Carefully chosen historic inns and a small tour size insure a rewarding experience for nurses and non-healthcare professionals alike.
The cost of the Italy Dream Tour is $2495 per person/double occupancy, and includes upscale lodging, all breakfasts, special celebratory meals, custom tours, water taxis and land transportation. Reservations are on a first-come, first-serve basis and must be held by deposit of $500 before June 15, 2008.
