Nursing is a very highly regulated profession. There are over 100 boards of nursing and national nursing associations throughout the United States and its territories. Their existence helps regulate, inform, and promote the nursing profession. With such numbers, it can be difficult to distinguish between BONs and nursing associations, and overwhelming to consider various benefits and options offered by each.

Understanding these differences helps lend credence to your expertise as a professional.

It is estimated that the Korean nationals who are living in Mexico are approximately 9,000 whereby these people migrated to Mexico in 1900.  As the result of commercial deals which were signed by the Mexican, Korean and Taiwan governments. The companies were able to hire and bring back the people outside the Asian heritage. The racial heritage of Mexicans is mixed which has got variety of Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, and other Asians. Though the people of south and northern Korea have different names, they all have a common. The people of South Korea refer to themselves as Hanguk-in while the northern call themselves Joseon-in, all meaning people of Korea.

 Koreans are considered descendants of ancient people from Manchuria, Mongolia, and south Siberia, who inhabited the northern Korean Peninsula. People of Korean heritage are those individuals who trace their lineage to the Korean state. People who trace their roots to Korea are of Korean heritage and share their characteristics with those of Korean people. People of Mexican heritage are people who trace their roots to Mexico. Mexico is a state in northern America that identifies itself as an independent state. Hispanic and Latino are commonly used by these people who have diverse sources to describe themselves. The ancestry of Mexican people includes Spanish, African, indigenous, and German. There is no close similarity between the roots of Korean and Mexican heritage. There are those Koreans who migrated into Mexico and who can trace their heritage to Mexico. Asians who live in Mexico can also trace their roots to be similar to those of Korean.

The two communities have varying healthcare beliefs. The Koreans believe in healthcare; they believe in curative rather than preventive treatment measures. Many believe in Korean culture is based on the Buddhism religion. They believe fate or karma may be the reason for ill health. Disharmony is a natural force that they believe causes certain sicknesses like depression, hypo activity, and hypothermia, among other diseases like abdominal cramps (Lee, Choi, & Marqus-Pascual, 2016). The Koreans believe the treatment of such diseases should be using the opposite force to achieve body balance.

The Korean enhance the provision of evidence-based treatment by ensuring they communicate with caregivers about them believes and pain. They also help healthcare providers in understanding whom to involve when offering treatment to patients. There are characteristics within the Hispanic Mexican that define illness and the use of healing and treatment practices. Mexican Hispanics view illness as God’s divine punishment or will of God. Despite the type of treatment, they get, Hispanic Mexicans employ faith in God as part of their healing process (Medina & AETC, 2014). They get help from their lay healers in most cases. Like Korean, they believe in curative rather than preventive measures. They are mostly emotional and thus need to be treated well when sick. Their dietary is crucial for healthcare providers as they would help in administering prescriptions.

Mexican have different practices to cure diseases like prayer, folk, and herbal medicine. Other practices are prescription from a friend or prescription from medical doctors. They also consider individual nutrition and diet to heal diseases. Traditional treatment and health practices in the Korean community are different.

In conclusion, the paper has discussed the heritage of both the Korean and Mexican heritage. Both groups have got variety of similarities which have been discussed whereby they are not limited to above.  Healthcare beliefs, values and customs have been discussed clearly portraying how the traditional medicine is used.  They both communicate well with the caregivers and traditional attendants to ensure that they express their pain and feelings in order to receive the best curative medicine instead of preventive cures.
