Nurses need to be culturally sensitive to provide competent care. The cumulative diversity within the healthcare workforce itself has received much less attention; yet without attending to increasing diversity in both groups‚ it is doubtful that efforts to improve cultural competence will be successful. One may be aware of many different cultures‚ but due to one’s biases‚ he or she will still not provide the appropriate care. In order for healthcare providers to become culturally competent they need

A recent survey concluded that only 10% of nurse supervisors believed their newly graduated nurses were fully prepared to practice safely and effectively (Twibell & Pierre‚ 2012). This low percentage may be attributed to the new graduate turnover rate‚ which is around 30% the first year of practice and as high as 57% the second year (Twibell & Pierre‚ 2012). Although hospitals have reduced current nurse turnover‚ there is an estimation of a 260‚000-nurse shortage by the year of 2025 due to Baby Boomer
