Conflict Resolution

Today we didn't discuss conflict resolution, we actually talked about the future of nursing. The conversation regarding diversity was a good one for me. I had never thought about the need to have cultural diversity in employees. I can see how experiencing patients with different cultural backgrounds is beneficial and can help us be better nurses but I never really thought about how coworkers of different ethnicity could benefit my practice.  The conversation regarding the lack of voice that nurses have and the need for greater education was interesting as well. I'm not quite sure how nurses change the way they are viewed from a leadership standpoint but it is something to keep in mind when trying to institute change.
