Thank you for your help. This is such an under taught subject and it is so important for us (nurses) to learn other cultures so, that we can properly advocate for our patient.

I am currently doing a research project on Native American culture and what you as the nurse should know before treating your patient. I am having a difficult time finding someone (a nurse) that has had experience with the Native American culture. My question would be...What are some of the most important things to know about your Native American patient concerning the importance of family? Do they consider time to be night and day or is time 8 am and 12 pm? How do you explain to a patient that they have to take a medication three times a day? I feel very uneducated in this subject matter. Thank you for your help.

I am currently working on a research project on Native American culture. I am soon to be a nurse and I am interested to know what you have learned, personally, about how to approach this culture and the important things we need to know as Nurses about the Native American culture? This is a hard subject to find people that have actually experienced meeting and treating the culture.
