Future trends in the convergence of a multicultural world continue to intensify the need to educate nurses to deliver culturally focused care. A descriptive survey was conducted to examine curricular trends related to the teaching of transcultural nursing (TCN) in nursing curricula of baccalaureate and higher degree schools of nursing in the United States. Faculty development and qualifications to teach transcultural nursing were identified as well as methods for collaboration between schools of nursing. Although TCN concepts are incorporated into most curricula, wide variation exists as to content, depth, and level of integration. Implications call for collaboration with accrediting agencies, including state boards of nursing, to strengthen expected outcomes related to culture, curricular reviews of nursing courses regarding the incorporation of TCN concepts and experiences, collaboration on culturally focused field experiences, faculty development, and networking across schools to expand available resources.
