The TCN Scholars is guided by the philosophy, mission and by-laws of the Transcultural Nursing Society. The purpose of the TCN Scholars is to recognize persons who have demonstrated exemplary creative leadership by advancing transcultural nursing and health care research, education, practice and/or administration within local, national or global contexts. Although there may be a rare exception, these persons, referred to as scholars, have studied with a teacher, formally or informally, and then continue to study and promote scholarship among others. Transcultural nursing scholars are creative leaders who demonstrate characteristics such as experience, insight, imagination, and leadership through engagement with ideas, persons, and organizations, to facilitate research, education and practice of transcultural nursing and healthcare.
Purpose
The TCN Scholars is established to promote the advancement of a body of knowledge, initiate and disseminate research, teaching and learning, and the clinical applications of transcultural nursing, and healthcare globally. Members are recognized as individuals who have demonstrated and documented exemplary leadership by advancing transcultural nursing and health care research, education, practice, and/or administration within regional, national, or global contexts.
Objectives
1. Establish mechanisms for identifying and recognizing outstanding scholars and mentors in transcultural nursing and healthcare globally.
2. Establish criteria for differentiating levels of competence in transcultural nursing.
3. Utilize leadership in the dissemination and implementation of concepts, models, theories and research relevant to transcultural healthcare and education.
4. Promote implementation of culturally congruent and competent care through education, research, practice and administration.
5. Create a forum for exploring innovative approaches to the present and emerging issues in transcultural healthcare.
