My future in-service presentations would be less lecture-based and more activity based. The lecture may have been too long and in the future I would limit the didactic to ten minutes. Discussions and learning activities such as, discussions, videos, and matching games about diverse cultures would be implemented to keep the nurses’, interested, focused and to improve learning outcomes. Multiple activities were incorporated into the curriculum, but due to time constraints only discussions were implemented. The nurses discussed their encounters with patients of different cultures, and this proved to be a positive impact on the in-service in promoting nurses to have open dialog amongst them when caring for patients of different cultures.
