Funding
It is a good idea to try to cost out your elective so that you have some idea of how much money you need to raise. The earlier you do this the longer you have to get your funds together!! Also if you are applying to local companies, charities or medical organisations for funds you are more likely to be successful in your application if you can show that your elective is well planned and thought out. Many churches or other Christian organisations will offer support (both prayer and financial support) especially if you can put together a short report or presentation of your experiences when you return. Information on sources of funding for nursing electives can be found in Appendix 6.
