Abstract:

In this chapter, Debra Jackson considers enculturation as it relates to nurse education. In particular, focus is placed on the dominant orthodoxies and discourses in nursing, and it is suggested that in adopting and accepting these, nursing students may become blinded to alternate ways of thinking about and seeing the world. It is argued that nurse educational programmes promulgate the whiteness of nursing, through enculturation of whiteness. Enculturation into white normativity is reproduced and regularised through the teaching strategies and artefacts that are used, and this enculturation affects the ways that nursing students are able to understand, speak, relate to and meet (or not) the needs of diverse communities within and without of nursing.
