African American nursing faculty members are scarce in today's society. The National League for Nursing (NLN) developed a report of the faculty census survey of Registered Nurses (RN) and graduate programs in 2002. The report indicates that only 6.6% nursing faculty are African American compared to 91.0% Caucasian nursing faculty (NLN, 2003). Previous published literature explores reasons African Americans are not choosing academic careers, reasons for termination of employment, regions in the U.S. where African American faculty are employed, and strategies employed to recruit additional African American nursing faculty.
在当今社会,非裔美国护理教员十分稀缺。美国国家护理联盟(NLN)在2002年发布了一份关于注册护士(RN)和研究生项目教员普查的报告。该报告显示,只有6.6%的护理教员是非裔美国人,相比之下,白人护理教员占91.0%(NLN,2003)。此前发表的文献探讨了非裔美国人不选择学术职业的原因、就业终止的原因、美国非裔美国教员就业的地区,以及为招募更多非裔美国护理教员所采用的策略。
