Abstract

This article is a synthesis and interpretation of field work from a transcultural nursing immersion experience in Italy. The main focus of the field work was to understand the cultural influences on health systems with interpretations related to nursing education. The major recommendations of the paper include strategies for nurse educators to promote cultural competence throughout curricula by providing students with meaningful clinical experiences and addressing healthcare needs of diverse populations in the U.S. and abroad.
