The Importance of being a Diverse NurseDiverse cultures, diverse lives, learning and succeeding together. Retrieved November 29, 2008 from https://secure.lynbrook.k12.ny.us/mtorres1/
In our society today there is a lot of diversity around us. This means that there are many different cultures and beliefs that a nurse may not know about. It is important for nurses to educate themselves on other cultures because it will benefit them in communicating with the nurse. There might be a patient that doesn’t speak english and therefore can’t communicate about what their beliefs are such as what they eat or what they practice. It is important to learn as much about other cultures as possible to make the patients feel comfortable and to help them keep up with their traditions. This will aid in their health because they will be more acceptable to the nurse as well as more trusting.
