Reflection on Culture in Nursing

Reflection on Culture in Nursing

The NUR3655 course has been extremely beneficial in improving RN-BSN competencies. The training and skills I have acquired have improved my critical thinking, leadership, and communication abilities. It stressed evidence-based practice, the use of research, and ethical decision-making (Stephens & Cormack, 2020). The seminar also emphasized the need for cultural competence and collaboration to establish a comprehensive patient care approach. The course advanced students’ awareness of healthcare policy and its implications for nursing practice. It offered a holistic community and public health vision, emphasizing the nurse’s role in health promotion and illness prevention (Sherwood & Barnsteiner, 2019). With this background information, this essay will reflect comprehensively on essential aspects such as identifying and applying components of different cultures and determining the impact of culture in nursing as grounded in ACCN Essential I, II, V, VII; QSEN: safety, evidence-based practice, teamwork and collaboration, and patient-centred care.

Course Reflection

First, the course has been valuable so far since it assisted me in developing my understanding of healthcare policy and advocacy skills, with a special emphasis on evaluating protective and predictive factors affecting health at different levels (Sherwood & Barnsteiner, 2019). It entails a thorough investigation of genetics and how it affects people as individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations. I have learned how to use genetic data in clinical assessments and how particular genetic markers or predispositions can affect health outcomes during the course.
