Refer to specific passages or ideas 65 in the course or text that have sparked your interest. 66 • Make sure your contribution adds something new to the Discussion. 67  Unacceptable: "I agree." 68  Unacceptable: "I think the author is off her rocker on this point. I can't stand it when 69 techies try to write about education." 70  Think about how you can take the conversation to the next level. 71 • Make your posting clear and easy to follow by dividing longer messages into 72 paragraphs. 73 • Use correct spelling, capitalization, grammar, syntax, and punctuation. 74 • If you plan to post a lengthy response, it is a good idea to type your response in Word 75 or Notepad™, then copy and paste it into the Discussion area. This way you will always 76 have a record of your communication if for some reason you lose your connection to the 77 course. 78 • A rubric is a tool utilized by your instructor to determine your performance on 79 assessments (Assignments, Discussions, Seminars, etc.) throughout your course. 80 • The rubric lists the criteria for the assessment on which you will be graded. You should 81 follow the rubric so you understand exactly what is expected of you in each assignment. 82 • Following the rubric will help make sure you do not lose points unnecessarily on any 83 graded item.

I am giving you some idea for Item#1 and Item#3 which you will need to formulate answers. You may need to expand both of these items so it is adequate. But please make sure that at the end we need to have all items 1-6 properly addressed and meets rubrics. Item #1: Provide Brief Description…… (Brian, can you please add or modify this paragraph. I am just giving you a highlight) Hello My Name is Esma L and I have been working as a Nurse for the last 5 years at St. Johns. Prior to joining to St. Johns I was working in a long term care I have been privileged to become a nurse where I can help patients as well as their loved ones.

Here is a sample of a peer who submitted INTIAL post. This would give you some idea especially about: Item #1 and Item# 3. Hello class My name is Stephanie Jones. I Live in Charlotteville. I do not have a special area that I current work at r Hospital Flex team. I prefer to float from one unit to the next, after seventeen years of nursing settling down in one unit is no longer an option for me. I believe that all cultures are the same in what they belief and think. One culture may belief in the supernatural to cure illness and other culture nay belief that spirits cause illness. I am a Haitian descent and I grew up in a culture that believe in both white and black magic and that herbal and bush medicine is the cure for all sickness. To be cultural competent we must first understand one’s own cultural background. Due to increase diversification globally, there has been an increased number of culturally and linguistically different ethnic groups relocating from their countries of birth to other nations. Indians are one of the different ethnic groups in the United States comprising of people whose origin is India a country located in South Asian. In healthcare perspective, Indians have proven to require cultural as well as linguistic assistance while seeking for health services. This is highly promoted by the fact that Indian reveals diverse health beliefs, for instance, it is a health believe that Indian men should not reveal the extent of pain, which affects the patient care in terms of pain managements. Besides, most of the Indian are less educated and reveals an ascent while communicating in English making it difficult to converse efficiently leading to linguistics challenges while addressing the patient. CLAS principle standard number five on Communication and Language Assistance is one of the vital principles that would intensify the capacity of the Indian ethnic group in receiving equitable care in a different cultural background (OMH 2016). The standard states that “Offer language assistance to individuals who have limited English proficiency or other communication needs, at no cost to them, to facilitate timely access to all health care and services.” The standard is appropriate when dealing with the Indians because the highest percentage are not able to express their needs using proficient English. Advanced practice nurse plays an imperative role in the future of the health services and cares for the patients. They comprise of various groups of registered practicing nurses such as the nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists, clinical nurse’s specialists as well as the midwives (Newhouse, Stanik-Hutt, White, Johantgen, Bass, Zangaro, & Weiner, 2011). Advanced practicing nurses are in most cases the primary care providers and leads in the forefront in course of providing care to the ailing individuals. This promotes the instances at which the nurses interact with people from different cultural and ethnic background. Culturally sensitive care enhances the respect, knowledge as well as skill to the practicing nurses providing the chance for offering effective care (Majumdar, Browne, Roberts, & Carpio, 2004
