¶ … transformational leaders create a caring team?
Transformation leaders create a caring team by emphasizing empathy among team members. Empathy is a very important quality that nurses should cultivate and not everyone knows what it means or how to exercise it -- and yet it is the quality that is at the heart of caring teams (Wiseman, 1996). So what is empathy? Wiseman (1996) states that different people have different ideas about what it means: "listening, caring, understanding, valuing, feeling," for example, are some of the ways that nurses describe empathy (p. 1163). Yet there is an even better way to define empathy: the "projection of the self into the feelings of others," and "the power of entering into another's personality and imaginatively experiencing his experiences" (p. 1163). Others view it as "intellectual and emotional awareness," which also helps to deepen the concept and give it more dimension. These definitions effectively build on the average definition of the ordinary nurse's concept of the term. Empathy is that which allows the nurse to treat others as he or she would like to be treated. Doing this leads to the establishment of a great team, because it opens the door for transformational leadership to take place.

The transformational leader looks out and sees what the followers need and then helps to supply that missing link in order to get the team where it needs to be.
2. What is the impact of embracing diversity in the nursing profession?
The impact of embracing diversity in the nursing profession is that it helps to promote awareness and understanding. The more aware nurses are the better they can be at their job. Embracing diversity, not only among workers, but also among patients is a positive first step in being able to treat them appropriately.
For instance, the model of Transcultural Assessment that Giger and Davidhizar developed as a result of their study of nursing students was based on six fundamental factors considered to be relevant phenomena. The major phenomena were: time, space, social organization, communication, environmental control and biological variation (Giger, Davidhizar, 2002, p. 185). The basic concepts and relationships presented by this theory are that it was meant…

Cultural Diversity and Nursing Using Leininger Model The concept of trans-cultural nursing came from Leininger and the principal goal was put as being to provide culturally specific care. The difficulties of this can be understood only when an individual understands the concepts behind 'culture, cultural values, culturally diverse nursing care, ethnocentrism, race and ethnography'.

Nursing during World War II Pearl Harbor, and the United States' subsequent involvement in World War II, had a lasting impact on the country, much as the events of September 11, 2001, had, and will continue to have, a lasting impact on this nation. In particular, this paper will focus on the impact that Pearl Harbor and World War II had on the nursing profession. The events of Pearl Harbor and other
5 million U.S. patients develop HCS's that result in $5billion in costs and almost 100,000 deaths. It is amazing that in one of the most technologically advanced societies ever, 100,000 individuals lose their lives based on increased microbial and invasive infectious agents -- and that most of those affected (68%) are those that have been successfully treated for cancer (Siegel and Korniewica, 2007).
