Fall Must-Haves: Reading, Resources and Recruitment Tools

This is the time of year when consumer magazines are full of photo spreads showcasing everything from the coolest college dorm accessories and the new fall fashions to previews of the sleekest new 2007 cars. But what about nurses who want to know what resources are available to help them provide culturally sensitive care to diverse patient populations, or to help recruit the next generation of minority nurses? With this in mind, Minority Nurse is pleased to present our own version of that venerable standby, the Fall Shopping Guide.

 

BE SAFE: A Cultural Competency Model for American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians Toward the Prevention and Treatment of HIV/AIDS is the third and latest workbook in the BE SAFE series from the National Minority AIDS Education and Training Center (NMAETC). (Previous volumes covered African Americans and Latinos.) Designed to help clinicians provide more effective, culturally relevant patient care, the 117-page manual includes contributions from 14 Native American and Native Hawaiian nurses, public health professionals and cultural competence experts.
