NUR 360 - Transcultural Nursing

Credits: 4

This course is designed to introduce the student to culturally competent nursing care across the lifespan. The course will identify different cultures and the health-illness attitudes, beliefs and practices inherent in those cultures. Students will have assignments designed to enhance self-reflection and awareness of cultural orientation to enable a greater understanding of culture-specific care. Students will learn how to perform culturally-sensitive assessments with attention to safeguarding, preserving, advocating and protecting diverse cultures in the healthcare setting. Students will focus on delivery of compassionate, patient-centered, evidence-based care that respects patient and family preferences.
