More about Culture

Hello again class!
I hope you have had time to review the material we covered earlier in class. I wanted to take this time to share a few thoughts with you. As a nurse, I have had to work with people from many different cultures, and I have always found it a very enjoyable task. However, it does have its challenges. The more people you come into contact with, the more chances there are for there to be misunderstandings. In our class we are going to be looking at why we need to be aware of the various cultures of our students. However, before we do that, we should take a look at how we as a class feel about the need for cultural competence. I have included a link to a survey here at the bottom of this blog. Please take the time to complete it. It is only 4 questions, but they should give me some idea of what you think of how culture affects the classroom. Once I have had the chance to analyze the results, I will let you know what they were, and how we will proceed from here on. Thanks in advance!
