Present/Future Directions 

We live in divisive times.  As transcultural nurses and scholars, we are challenged to conduct research to better understand the cultural circumstances in which we live.  We must apply the best available evidence to nursing practice, administration, and education in our efforts to enhance the cultural care needs of people in the United States and the world.
