Promoting collaborative practice with culturally diverse populations.
Practicing nurses in multiple health care settings must be prepared to manage a diverse, multicultural patient population and work collaboratively with co-workers representing different cultural backgrounds. To prepare professional nurses to practice effectively with our increasingly diverse population, frontline managers and nursing service administrators must act jointly to increase their knowledge of cultural diversity, share that knowledge, and combine forces to promote cultural awareness and sensitivity in practice settings.
