RESUMO
Nurses must learn essential skills based in transcultural nursing to address issues of equity and social justice. The development of a model for nursing practice for an urban nurse-led drop-in center for individuals experiencing marginalization provides an opportunity for student nurses to learn transcultural nursing skills that shifts care from acknowledging the need of others to accompanying others on their health journey. The practice model provides the opportunity for undergraduate and graduate nursing students at Augsburg University to de-emphasize tasks and build relationships. Students learn to listen to others' stories and acknowledge their struggles in the margins. Four stages of nursing practice skills, acknowledging others' needs, attending to their struggles, affirming strengths, and ultimately accompanying others, are taught and experienced. At the core of the nursing practice model is the concept of "hospitality." The nursing practice model serves as guide for student nurses to learn to suspend disbeliefs, withhold judgment, and ultimately reduce stereotypes and stigma to offer a safe space for individuals living in the margins seeking care. The future of nursing requires essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes that shift care from need-based care to accompaniment to address health inequities and provide culturally appropriate care.

For the past 3 years, the Minnesota Chapter of the Transcultural Nursing Society has focused efforts on the development of standards for transcultural nursing practice. The standards, based on Leininger's culture care theory and Campinha-Bacote's model of cultural competence, are intended to foster excellence in transcultural nursing practice, to provide criteria for the evaluation of nursing care, to be a tool for teaching and learning, to increase the public's confidence in the nursing profession, and overall to advance the field of transcultural nursing. The standards are presented as an invitation for individual and collective reflection and commentary.
