Compare/Contrast Culture Reflection Paper: American/Iranian Nurses (Due in Lesson 10) - Instructions


This is not just a reflection paper but is a specific type. In this paper, please focus your thoughts on comparing and contrasting the role of an American nurse with the role of an Iranian nurse. Relate your thoughts on both the differences and similarities of the nurses of both countries. The paper should be written so the instructor can clearly see the writer (you) comparing things in common between American and Iranian nursing care, and also contrasting (noting the differences) between them.
