It is being concscious and respectful of one's values, beliefs, traditions, and customs while remaining non-judgmental or biased. Additionally, cultural competency is about developing skills to improve one's ability to control or change personal false beliefs, assumptions, and stereo-types.

Cultural competence requires one to have an open-mind and have the willingness to accept others' views.
It may mean that you have to set your own beliefs aside in order to better serve others. Successful nursing practice requires self- awareness in order to be culturally competent.
One of the most significant jobs as a nurse is to be a patient advocate. This is one of the reasons cultural competence is important in nursing.

Another way cultural competency is important in nursing practice is important effective communications between the provider and the patient.
