  1. Hi,
  2. my name is Olivia and this is my video on how
  3. I will become a culturally competent nurse in the future.
  4. My definition of cultural competence is the ability to interact,
  5. communicate and provide care to individuals from
  6. diverse cultural backgrounds in a respectful manner.
  7. The first way I would become a culturally competent nurse is being self-aware.
  8. When being self-aware.
  9. I am recognizing my own beliefs and learning how
  10. to separate those appropriately and effectively from other beliefs.
  11. The second way I would become a culturally
  12. competent nurse is to learn about different cultures.
  13. I would do extensive research on different
  14. cultures and religions to gain a true understanding
  15. by having that understanding,
  16. I would be more readily equipped to care for patients with
  17. different cultures and make them feel as comfortable as they can.
  18. The third way I would become a culturally
  19. competent nurse is to have effective communication skills,
  20. good communication skills,
  21. combine verbal and nonverbal communication and allow for the report
  22. between the patient and myself to be built
  23. a good report with the patient starts to build
  24. that trust that is needed in the nursing profession.
  25. The fourth way I would become a culturally competent
  26. nurse is to always be respectful and open minded.
  27. There is no room for judgment and assumptions.
  28. As a nurse,
  29. I would enter each patient's room knowing only the necessary
  30. information and allow for them to fill in the rest.
  31. And the fifth way I would become a culturally competent nurse is to always continue.
  32. My learning,
  33. learning is a lifelong process and things in life are always changing.
  34. I always want to be up to date with current
  35. protocols and trends to better care for my patients.
  36. Thanks for watching.
