Also,only the receipt of care determines cultural safety.Consequently,As health professionals ,we need to reflect on our cultural identity and relative power #NURSING1008
The knowledge acquired in #NURSING1008 class has shaped my understanding of Cultural safety. As a future nurse,creating an enabling atmosphere in which client feels safe,consent ,mutual respect and acknowledging the uniqueness in others allows for better healthcare delivery.

Cultural safety is a continuous and a never ending knowledge journey that begins with cultural awareness,cultural sensitivity and finally culturally safety.
Your ability to recognise value,History and Attitudes are embedded in cultural safety #NURSING1008
To become a culturally safe Nurse,You need to have a self reflection that is aimed at achieving a care that is safe for the receiver of that care.
Also,collecting true data is more respectful than your assumption of what an indigenous Australia should look like. #NURSING1008
