Received this info from another nurse in my district and thought I'd pass it on. I know we have several Muslim families here at my school, and this is not something I've seen before.
Does anybody know if there is an age limit? I know for Catholics, children under a certain age are not expected to fast during Lent, but I don't know if there is a similar age limit for Muslims.
1 hour ago, CampyCamp said:I always hate cultural competence classes in nursing school or CE. They always seem to cross over the fine line between understanding and assuming. An awareness can easily become a stereotype!
I agree, whole-heartedly! The last few trainings I have gone to refer to cultural humility, instead of competence. We can't really know everything about everyone's culture and experience. The best way is to actually talk to people, and ask them to share what they think we should know and what they need from us.
