Assignment:
I use our first two readings as evidence of both the courage required and investment needed to become culturally competent. The Arlington reading is evidence of some soul searching by the Arlington school district and clearly the result of some honesty about their issues. The Delgado reading shows the impact of the investment of only ONE hour of cultural competence training on nurses.
Using these two readings provide some insight as to why the identify both courage and investment. You answer should have four (4) parts:
Arlington : insight on courage (1) and investment (2)
Delgado: insight on courage (3) and investment (4)
You may use quotes from the reading or excerpts but make sure to also use your own words when describing your thoughts.
