Nurses who understand and value cultural competency can effect positive changes in health care practices.

Clients' beliefs and values must be thoughtfully and skillfully incorporated into nursing care plans.
Caring is the core of nursing: culturally competent nursing guides the nurse to provide optimal holistic care.
These practices help the client care for themselves and others within familiar, supportive, and meaningful cultural contexts.
Continual improvement and expansion of modern technologies and nursing knowledge are integrated if appropriate.
Nurses face daily cultural diversity due to increasing numbers of immigrants and refugees.
Commitment to learning and practicing culturally competent care offers great satisfaction and rewards.

Rosmarie Rizzo Parse

Human Becoming Theory
Focuses on the lived experience of humans.
Key concepts:
- Meaning: choosing personal meaning in situations; reality given meaning through experiences.
- Rhythmicity: cocreating rhythmical patterns of relating with the universe; person and environment cocreate in rhythmical patterns.
- Transcendence: reaching beyond limits; person is constantly transforming.

Human Becoming Theory: Metaparadigm

Person: open being, more than the sum of their parts.
Environment: inseparable from the person; complementary and evolving.
Health: process of being and becoming; involves synthesis of values.
Nursing: human science and art using abstract knowledge to help people.

Human Becoming Theory: Nursing Practice

Creates a stronger nurse-patient relationship by viewing the patient as a whole person within their environment.
Gives the nurse the ability to see the patient's perspective.
Allows the nurse to be “with” the patient and guide them toward health goals.
Nurse-patient relationship cocreates changing health patterns.

Rozzano Locsin

Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing
Aligns with the simultaneity paradigm.
People are believed to be more than the sum of their parts even when sick or using technology.
Nursing is not about fixing but about knowing the patient fully.
Technology is an extension of caring that enables a greater sense of knowing.
Knowing is a mutual process between the nurse and the person being nursed.
The person being nursed is unique and necessitates creative ways of being cared for.
Modern technologies have created innovative ways to care for these individuals.

- Caring healing modalities: spiritual practices.
- Caring consciousness: being present and aware.
