Abstract
The United States' diversity is growing, making it difficult for nurses to meet the needs of patients from a wide range of cultures, belief systems, and groups. Nursing is not new to providing culturally competent care; however, the profession's demographic shift has made it a priority. Improving nurses' cultural competency can lead to increased access to health care and, as a result, better health outcomes. Nurses in all specialties work with people from all walks of life, which necessitates that they have the knowledge and skills necessary to care in a culturally appropriate manner. Radiology nurses, in particular, influence care in a variety of settings and provide care to people of all ages and acuities, making the commitment to fostering culturally congruent practice even more critical. Nurses can begin this process by critically reflecting on their own biases as well as the concepts of cultural humility, competence, and competemility.
