Wanja Jørgensen

Wanja Jørgensen serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Public Health and Nursing at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), based at Øya helsehus. Her work bridges academic instruction with practical healthcare applications through partnerships with St. Olavs Hospital and Trondheim municipality.

Her research centers on Nursing Education, International Clinical Practice, and Global Health, with documented projects in Bangladesh and Nicaragua examining communities of practice, cross-cultural learning, and interprofessional collaboration. Key methodologies include problem-based learning, reflective storytelling, and clinical placement frameworks for international students.

Publication analysis reveals consistent focus on enhancing nursing competencies through international exposure (2003-2019), particularly in resource-limited settings. Recent work emphasizes municipal healthcare integration and student supervision models, while earlier studies established foundational approaches to cultural exchange in nursing education.

No scientific awards are documented. She supervises bachelor's theses (SYT2900) and teaches multiple international clinical placement courses (SYA2303, SYG2303, SYT2303, SYT2304), indicating active student mentorship. Project reports suggest involvement in educational grants including the 2018-2019 international student initiative and VISTAMAR collaboration.
