A commitment to enhancing the diversity of the nursing workforce is reflected in the recruitment and retention strategies designed by Stony Brook University with support of a grant received from the Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration. Three specific student retention strategies are evaluated in terms of their influence on student inclusion and promotion of student success. A review of the cultural competence of teaching and learning strategies and the promotion of cultural self-awareness underpinned these strategies. A mentorship program designed to provide individual support for students, particularly for those engaged in distance learning, proved to be challenging to implement and underused by students. Students found other means of support in their workplace and through individual connections with the faculty. Instructional programs that enhanced individual skills in the use of computer hardware and software were particularly effective in promoting student success.
石溪大学在获得美国卫生与公众服务部下属卫生资源与服务管理局拨款的支持下，制定了招聘和保留策略，以致力于提高护理人员队伍的多样性。本文评估了三项具体的学生保留策略，以考察其对学生包容性和促进学生成功的影响。这些策略以教学和学习策略的文化能力以及文化自我意识的提升为基础。一项旨在为学生提供个人支持的导师计划，特别是为那些远程学习的学生提供支持，但事实证明，该计划在实施方面具有挑战性，且学生的使用率也较低。学生们在工作场所和与教师的个人联系中找到了其他支持方式。增强学生在计算机硬件和软件使用方面个人技能的教学计划在促进学生成功方面特别有效。
