A CRASH course in cultural competence for nurses.
Nurses are at the forefront of providing health care and need to be sensitive to the unique needs of all populations. Because urologic nurses care for individuals with sometimes embarrassing health care needs, we encourage urologic nurses to take a CRASH course in cultural competence, combining knowledge of Culture, Respect and Assessment of others' worldviews, Sensitivity to cultural differences, and providing care with Humility that can be integrated into urology. Resources for increasing cultural competence are also suggested.
