Abstract
ASEAN was established on 8 August 1967 in Bangkok, Thailand with the purpose to accelerate economic, social and cultural development, provide educational collaboration and maintain close and beneficial cooperation with existing international and regional organizations (Foundation of ASEAN, 2014). To achieve these goals, all members have to look beyond themselves and focus on what they share as a region. This research aimed to study and compare nursing students- perspective for ASEAN citizenship between Saint Louis College (SLC) and 2 education institutions in Indonesia; Institut Teknologi dan Kesehatan Bali (ITEKES Bali) and Widya Mandala Catholic University (WMCU).
