For the third year, nursing students from Japan will be visiting this week with their counterparts at Grays Harbor College.Thirty-three students and their instructor arrived Wednesday from the Osaka College of Nursing.

They will spend two full days learning and sharing experiences with the GHC nursing students and faculty, using the college’s nursing simulation lab and other interactive exercises. Lunches on Wednesday and Thursday were to focus on popular American foods, such as pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs and ice cream.

Before departing the Northwest on Friday, the group will also tour Providence St. Peter’s Hospital in Olympia.
