How will the nurses know about the cultural needs in the NWT?
The nurses receive training on how to identify and respond to cultural differences. They understand the need to respect cultural differences and to respond accordingly. The GNWT’s Department of Health and Social Services provides information and advice about what should be in the training. NWT nurses also provided the staff with first hand information and experience. There are a few of the nurses working on the line who have worked in the north. They are able to provide the nurses with information about their experience and knowledge. Ongoing orientation and support will continue with the staff.
