This essay aims to contribute to the global debate that has been generated, both from professional disciplines and especially from Nursing, due to the increasing complexity of health care that must be faced in globalized contexts. This reflection started from a university project in which Nursing skills in Global Health were translated and studied in its study plans. Due to the current complexity of society, it is necessary to incorporate psychological, social and cultural variables in nursing education from a cross-cultural and holistic perspective. This will allow these professionals to lead and generate changes able to face global problems. Based on the experience of a previous research on Nursing training in Global Health, it is proposed to question the biomedical model and the change in the nurse's relationship with other professionals and with the patient.
