Many nurses are choosing to work in other countries, providing an opportunity to broaden their experience and knowledge. However, it is important that nurses who have the opportunity to work overseas develop cultural awareness and sensitivity before arriving. This article provides a reflective account of the experiences of one of the authors of working overseas. From the reflective account and evidence available in the literature on cultural sensitivity, insights are offered to nurses who may be considering working overseas to ensure they are adequately prepared.
许多护士选择在其他国家工作,这为他们拓宽经验和知识提供了机会。然而,有机会在海外工作的护士在抵达之前培养文化意识和敏感性很重要。本文对其中一位作者在海外工作的经历进行了反思性描述。基于反思性描述以及文献中关于文化敏感性的现有证据,为可能考虑在海外工作的护士提供见解,以确保他们做好充分准备。
