Abstract:
Culture is the driving frame within which all human action takes form. This article explores the elements and characteristics of culture and applies them to the nursing professional community of practice. As it drills down to the work in the cultural context, it argues for the central role of the preceptor in evidencing the influence of culture. For onboarding nurses and the nursing community, the preceptor becomes the carrier of culture, demonstrating the impact of culture in a way that exhibits its influence and impact on nursing practice and patient care.
