Cultural training for nurses


I have talked for years about the need for students to become culturally aware if they wish to succeed in the global economy.  I often wonder why more people are not pointing out the pragmatics of this skill set. 

 But today I have great example for you.   I quote my peeps at MarketPlace: "7 of the 10 fastest-growing jobs are in health care, but as demographics change, doctors and nurses will need new cultural skills to go along with their medical training. Alyssa Wagner has the story."  What are you waiting for?   Go listen to the story.
