Introduction: Globalization is a fact of life. In addition to having an impact on the economic, social, political, technological, environmental, and cultural spheres of human life, globalization also affects the health care and educational systems.

Results: This review study discovered that in order for nursing students to successfully navigate the issues of globalization and global health, they must increase their global health nursing competences. Conclusions: The best available data is compiled in this study to help universities and other interested parties create and assess global health nursing competency-strengthening programs for nursing students.
