Each spring, as part of their curriculum in PRSG 2880, Clinical Lab II, practical nursing students educate and entertain with Culture Day. Instructor Kristin Madigan says the exercise helps students to understand healthcare rituals of cultures different from their own.
"This year, we have nine groups of students showcasing nine different cultures and important cultural themes of which to be mindful when delivering healthcare service," Madigan says. "Just for an example, in practice, it's important to know that during the last six weeks of pregnancy, Amish women are encouraged to take a combination of herbs which are thought to assist with delivery," Madigan adds.
