AMERICAN INDIAN HEALTHCARE RESOURCE:
American Indian communities face challenges accessing proper healthcare, which have led to significant increases in diseases like HIV/AIDS among them. Nurses can help break the barriers to effective care by understanding the challenges the American Indian community faces, delivering culturally competent care. Our team at NurseJournal.org created a resource that describes what nurses need to know about the impact of HIV/AIDS on this community as well as how to administer proper care.
