The Enhancing Success in Advanced Practice Nursing (ESAPN) Project is designed to improve access to a diverse and culturally competent and sensitive health professions workforce by increasing the number of Hispanic, African-American and Asian nurses recruited, enrolled in and graduated from the MSN program at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-School of Nursing (UMDNJ-SN). In addition, the project plan includes the development and implementation of a comprehensive program that incorporates academic support services, career advisement and mentoring activities to retain and graduate an increased number of culturally, racially and ethnically diverse advanced practice nurses for the State of New Jersey. The project also seeks to improve the quality of care by preparing advanced practice nurses to provide culturally competent and sensitive care by assuring that the MSN curriculum includes content and clinical experiences relevant to the development of cultural competence. Faculty participation in workshops, designed to increase knowledge of cultural competence, is a key component. The success of the project will be evaluated using a variety of measures that track increases in the number of diverse students recruited and enrolled, the number of students accessing services associated with the ESAPN program, and increased retention and graduation of Hispanic, African-American and Asian nurses prepared as advanced practice nurses.
高级实践护理成功提升（ESAPN）项目旨在通过增加新泽西医学与牙科学院护理学院（UMDNJ-SN）招收、录取并毕业于护理学硕士（MSN）项目的西班牙裔、非裔美国人和亚裔护士数量，改善获得多元化、具备文化胜任力且敏感的卫生专业劳动力的机会。此外，项目计划包括制定和实施一项综合计划，该计划纳入学术支持服务、职业咨询和指导活动，以留住并培养出更多为新泽西州服务的、文化、种族和民族多元化的高级实践护士。该项目还试图通过确保MSN课程包含与文化胜任力发展相关的内容和临床经验，培养能够提供具备文化胜任力且敏感护理的高级实践护士，从而提高护理质量。教师参与旨在增加文化胜任力知识的研讨会是一个关键组成部分。将使用多种衡量标准评估该项目的成功与否，这些标准跟踪招收和录取的多元化学生数量的增加、使用与ESAPN项目相关服务的学生数量，以及作为高级实践护士培养的西班牙裔、非裔美国人和亚裔护士的留校率和毕业率的提高情况。
