In response to the need for increased racial and ethnic diversity in the nursing profession, the Duke University School of Nursing (DUSON) established the Making a Difference in Nursing II (MADIN II) Program. The aim of the MADIN II Program is to improve the diversity of the nursing workforce by expanding nursing education opportunities for economically disadvantaged underrepresented minority (URM) students to prepare for, enroll in, and graduate from the DUSON's Accelerated Bachelors of Science in Nursing program. Adapted from the highly successful Meyerhoff Scholarship Program model, the program is to cultivate URM nursing graduates with advanced knowledge and leadership skills who can address health disparities and positively influence health care issues currently plaguing underrepresented populations. The article discusses the MADIN II framework consisting of four unique components: recruitment of students, the Summer Socialization Nursing Preentry Program, the Continued Connectivity Program, and the Succeed to Excellence Program, providing a framework for other academic programs interested in cultivating a pipeline of minority nurse leaders.
为满足护理行业对增加种族和民族多样性的需求，杜克大学护理学院（DUSON）设立了“护理领域创造改变II（MADIN II）项目”。MADIN II项目的目标是通过为经济上处于不利地位的代表性不足的少数族裔（URM）学生扩大护理教育机会，使其为进入DUSON的护理学理学学士加速课程做准备、入学并毕业，从而提高护理劳动力的多样性。该项目借鉴了非常成功的迈耶霍夫奖学金项目模式，旨在培养具有先进知识和领导技能的URM护理毕业生，他们能够解决健康差距问题，并对当前困扰代表性不足人群的医疗保健问题产生积极影响。本文讨论了MADIN II框架，该框架由四个独特部分组成：学生招募、夏季社交护理入学前项目、持续联系项目和卓越成功项目，为其他有兴趣培养少数族裔护士领导者人才库的学术项目提供了一个框架。
