Abstract

Abstract: Prelicensure education may inadvertently lead to a belief that learning about different cultures is an end point, whereas cultural competency is an ongoing process. An online cultural competency education module incorporating organizational cultural assessment was developed for graduate nursing education. After completion, nurses have reported intent to continue career-long cultural competence learning and expressed determination to promote cultural competence in organizations where they work and lead.
