title: Managing a multicultural nurse staff in a multicultural environment.
abstract: In many health care facilities, multicultural/ethnically diverse professional and ancillary staff members care for an equally diverse patient population. Often this diversity is compounded by the recruitment of foreign nurse graduates. The authors describe how nurse managers at a southern California community medical center worked together to better understand and deal with the problems generated by such cultural diversity in their organization.
