I finished this week the certification for The National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services in Health and Health Care. I would have to say that is was extremely helpful and it definitely advanced my nursing knowledge in different cultures. Such program ensures a better patient care and centered care for the patient (Office of Minority Health, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2015). We as nurses have to provide the best care that we can provide and the best way on doing so is by comprehend patients needs and be culturally aware.
