Abstract
Although the importance of providing culturally congruent care is widely recognized among nurses, many nurses lack the skill and knowledge necessary to successfully provide culturally competent care. Nursing programs need to better prepare students in transcultural nursing. This article describes an innovative collaborative learning activity that was implemented between two different nursing programs in different states aimed at improving students’transcultural knowledge. Students worked in small groups and used the Internet to collaborate on case studies that focused on transcultural health care issues. Responses collected by anonymous evaluations at the end of three semesters identified both strengths and weaknesses of the project. Results and suggestions for improvement are reported.Keywords
