Transcultural nursing courses online: implications for culturally competent care.

Full Abstract

Cultural diversity must be taken seriously by both faculty and students, and requires action by both parties for successful integration into online learning. Limited diversity in the nursing workforce or student population creates a need for learning cultural competence. Online transcultural nursing courses meet this learning need and provide opportunities for a variety of students and faculty participation from around the world. Successful online learning experiences can contribute to the provision of culturally competent nursing care.
