Featured Article - Culturally Competent Nurse Anesthesia Care
Hello Everyone,
I just read this Featured Article, located on the this web site's Homepage, written by Wallena Gould, CRNA, MSN, founder of the Diversity in Nurse Anesthesia Mentorship Program, and moderator of this Forum. The article is very insightful, and informative. As a Nurse Anesthetist, your initial concern will be preparing to administer safe, and effective anesthesia care. The article discusses cultural considerations that are of equal importance for preparing to deliver that care. It is important to realize that we live in a very culturally diverse society, and that issues such as language barriers, special cultural gender considerations, and religious considerations will inevitably arise in your practice. I recommend that you take a few minutes to read this article, as it will open your mind, and enhance your practice!
