Week 1 Discussion: The Culture of Nursing

Answer the following prompts:

• There is a “provider culture” that includes the common values, beliefs, and expectations of providers in the health care system. How would you describe the culture of nursing?
• In what ways might nurses project this culture onto their patients and clients?
• How might the culture of nursing conflict with the values and beliefs of patients? Please provide an example from your own practice.

Use your personal experience, if it's relevant, to support or debate other students' posts. If differences of opinion occur, debate the issues professionally and provide examples to support opinions.
