Confronted with strangeness, nurses react with feelings of anxiety and fascination. Old people react predominantly with retreat in fantasies and confusion. Will the situation change fundamentally when elder immigrants are increasingly admitted into nursing homes? Which conditions should be created, so that we can accept strangeness as a ubiquitous phenomenon in nursing homes? And is there not a chance to introduce fundamental changes to our present concepts of nursing in general if we are willing to confront ourselves with issues of multicultural nursing?
