The Recruitment and Retention of African American Nurses: An Analysis of Current Data reviews data collected by the American Nurses Association. During the years 1984-85, 1987-88, and 1990-91, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, and The National League for Nursing observed trends in minority participation in nursing. Trends regarding African American nurses are emphasized. Data categories analyzed include: (1) registered nurses in practice; (2) admissions, enrollments, and graduations from undergraduate programs of all types; and (3) masters and doctoral enrollment. Detail analysis is performed for African American participation in baccalaureate programs, with a particular focus on the role of nursing programs in historically Black colleges and universities (HBCU). The data demonstrate that there has been growth in the numbers of African American and other minority groups entering nursing and completing undergraduate nursing programs. However, representation is below parity for the minority group's membership in American society. One interesting finding is that HBCUs graduate approximately 25% of African American nurses yearly despite the fact that they enroll less than 3% of the students in baccalaureate programs. The data also suggest a severe underrepresentation of minorities enrolled in masters and doctoral programs [corrected].
当前数据分析回顾了美国护士协会收集的数据。在1984 - 1985年、1987 - 1988年以及1990 - 1991年期间，美国护理学院协会和美国国家护士联盟观察了少数族裔参与护理工作的趋势。重点强调了非裔美国护士的相关趋势。分析的数据类别包括：（1）在职注册护士；（2）各类本科项目的录取、入学及毕业情况；（3）硕士和博士研究生入学情况。对非裔美国学生参与学士学位项目的情况进行了详细分析，特别关注了历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）中护理项目的作用。数据表明，进入护理行业并完成本科护理项目的非裔美国人和其他少数族裔群体的数量有所增长。然而，少数族裔在美国社会中的代表性仍未达到与其人口比例相当的水平。一个有趣的发现是，尽管历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）招收的学士学位项目学生不到3%，但它们每年培养的非裔美国护士约占25%。数据还显示，攻读硕士和博士项目的少数族裔人数严重不足[已修正]。
