65 Tips for ForeignBorn Nurses Working in American Hospitals by GeriAnn Galanti PhD SupportForNu



January 20, 2005 -- SupportForNurses.com www.supportfornuses.com, announced the publication of a Tips booklet to help foreign-born nurses successfully adapt to working in an American hospital.

Foreign-born nurses are working in American hospitals in increasingly large numbers. A lack of knowledge about American cultural norms, along with a limited understanding of how best to respond to the needs of patients and colleagues, has made their initial period of adjustment a difficult and stressful challenge.

65 Tips for Foreign-born Nurses who Work in American Hospitals will build a foreign-born nurse's competence in the following areas: Physician/Nurse Relationships, Nurse/Nurse Relationships, Nurse and Patient, Role of the Nurse, American Culture and Values, Understanding (Anglo) American Families, American Communication Patterns and Pain Management. There is also a list of resources in the back of the booklet to support a nurse's ongoing education.                    
Geri-Ann Galanti, PhD is the author of Caring for Patients From Different Cultures, 3rd edition, published by University of Pennsylvania Press. http://ggalanti.com.
