Aritifact 5: Indigenous Perspectives Designation

I chose my Indigenous Perspectives Designation as a meaningful artifact in my nursing journey because it represents my commitment to providing person-centered and culturally competent care.  I chose to take extra courses through Fleming college to deepen my understanding of Indigenous histories, worldviews, and health practices, enabling me to approach care with greater sensitivity and respect for cultural diversity. The more cultures and practices I can familiarize myself with along the way the better toolbox I have as a nurse. By incorporating this knowledge into my practice, I aim to foster trust and create safe spaces for healing, particularly for Indigenous patients and communities but also marginalized groups everywhere. I believe it symbolizes my dedication to equity in healthcare and my belief that honoring cultural identity is essential to holistic nursing care.
