Transcultural Nursing Society
Mission: The mission of TCNS is to enhance the quality of culturally congruent, competent,
and equitable care that results in improved health and well being for people worldwide.
Vision: The TCNS seeks to provide nurses and other healthcare professionals with the
knowledge base necessary to ensure cultural competence in practice, education, research,
and administration.
Philosopy/Values: TCN is a theory based humanistic discipline, designed to serve individuals,
organizations, communities, and societies. Human care/caring is defined within the context of
culture. Culturally competent care can only occur when culture care values are known and
serve as the foundation for meaningful care. *Scholarship is the foundation of the discipline
of TCN. Advanced educational preparation in TCN enhances the practice of culturally
competent care. Certification documents evidence of the ability to provide culturally competent
care. To achieve our vision, the TCNS requires a stable financial base.
Goals of TCNS
*Scholarship in nursing can be defined as those activities that systematically advance the
teaching, research, and practice of nursing through rigorous inquiry that 1) is significant to the
profession, 2) is creative, 3) can be documented, 4) can be replicated or elaborated, and 5)
can be peer-reviewed through various methods. http://www.aacn.nche.
