On Nurse.com, freelance writer Lisette Hilton details the ways that nursing schools are incorporting more cultural competence into their curricula.
Hilton quotes Yvonne Wesley, adjunct associate professor at New York University’s College of Nursing, who shows the evolution in thinking:
“We started with awareness. We went to sensitivity, and now we’re at competency,” she said. “So, nurses are expected to be competent in other people’s cultures.”
