does anyone teach a transcultural course?

[vickynurse]

:) I teach in an ASN program and am considering proposing an elective course on the topic of cultural competence. We discuss this in a med surg course, but I would like to take it deeper. Does anyone know of an ASN program with this type of course? I am only finding this type of offering in BSN and MSN programs. Feedback is appreciated.

Naaaah. You don't have to be or do anything you don't want. :)

But don't think you can be "damn good" without being culturally competent any more.
