Webinar 6: Cultural Humility and Nursing in BC​

On May 3, FNHA Chief Nursing Officer Becky Palmer, nurse Inez Louis from the Sto:lo Nation, and and nurse Lisa Sam from Nak’azdli presented Cultural Safety and Nursing.

Nurses play an important role in delivering quality care for First Nations communities in BC. Nurses are sometimes the first and only local health support for rural and remote communities, and can be a trusted source of advice. What does cultural safety and humility mean as a nurse working in a First Nations community? How can nurses working with First Nations and Aboriginal peoples approach the work in a good way to ensure their care is safe?
