Culture, ethnicity, social, and gender differences

MRU promote our nursing students to develop cultural competence that enables them to deliver healthcare to diverse populations. These experiences empower nursing graduates to meet people where they are at, honoring their cultural beliefs and providing equitable care. By fostering cultural connections within our communities, community colleges and the associate degree nursing pathway contribute to the growth of graduates who are not only skilled healthcare professionals but also compassionate global citizens.

Nurses are responsible for creating a nonjudgmental, welcoming environment for all patients. Still, transgender and gender-nonconforming patients continue to face healthcare prejudices and feel unwelcome in healthcare environments. To provide gender-affirming holistic nursing care requires a paradigm shift from a gender-binary to a gender-inclusive world view with continual ongoing self-assessment for bias. Nurses must learn more about gender transition and gender-affirming care to engage in therapeutic gender-affirming care.
