As a future nurse, I believe the importance of knowledge in nursing is crucial, especially the knowledge of culture care and diversity. Madeleine Leininger, a nursing theorist, acknowledged that the understanding of the patient’s culture in nursing is most important. As the country is becoming more and more diverse, nurses must be aware that the patients are too. It is the responsibility of the nurse to understand that each client may be culturally unique, and that the care be brought as equally between each client’s beliefs.
It is through Leininger’s ideas that I can incorporate into my practice. I want to be a nurse who can understand and become knowledgeable to my clients specific culture in order to provide effective care to each individual in the future.
