Multiethnic experiences enhance nursing students' learning.

This project was undertaken to expand student learning experiences with Hispanic and Southeast Asian clients. In addition to classroom experiences, the project included home visiting with individual families. The visits focused on health promotion/ disease prevention and illness care as necessary. Students also taught group health promotion classes. At the completion of this experience students were able to relate more therapeutically to minority clients and to plan culturally acceptable nursing interventions, and they demonstrated increased cultural self-efficacy.

Nursing diagnosis as content organizer.

The junior year faculty in a baccalaureate nursing program reorganized nursing content around nursing diagnosis. This revision served to highlight nursing process better, made the sequence of classes more logical, reduced repetition and made the relationship of individual classes to each other clearer. Students and faculty concluded that skills in analysis, synthesis, and problem solving were greatly enhanced by this format.

RN to BS in nursing: historical review leads to articulation agreement.

Historically, registered nurses who have graduated from associate degree or diploma programs and who wish to obtain a baccalaureate degree in nursing have been required to pass challenge examinations to obtain credit for their previous nursing knowledge. A review of this university's policy regarding challenge examinations convinced faculty to establish a transition course and to actively pursue articulation agreements with local community colleges. Through these agreements, RN students would be granted 29 credits and bypass the junior year. This article is written to encourage others to review their policies to facilitate educational mobility for the RN/BS student.

The development of culturally appropriate health education materials.

Addressing the extensive health needs of linguistic minority populations often requires the development of culturally appropriate health education materials. This article describes the preparation and evaluation of health education materials on medication that were tailored for the Latino and Southeast Asian clients. The culturally sensitive adaptation of materials and the involvement of community representatives are critical steps in this process. The number of requests for these materials illustrated the widespread need for this type of media.
