This article will review one school's quest to address the multi-level social, historical, environmental and structural determinants faced by under-represented ethnic minorities (UREM) and disadvantaged background (DB) students as they seek entrance into a nursing program. Nursing Network Careers and Technology (NN-CAT) provides a nursing career network for underrepresented and disadvantaged students in western North Carolina and has increased the number of underrepresented and disadvantaged students who are admitted, retained and graduate with a bachelor's degree in nursing from Western Carolina University. Initial data from this NN-CAT program have demonstrated that addressing social determinants and eliminating barriers can increase the number of UREM and educationally disadvantaged students who successfully matriculate in our schools of Nursing and subsequently graduate. These nurses then enter the workforce and provide culturally meaningful care in their local communities.
本文将回顾一所学校为解决代表性不足的少数族裔（UREM）和背景不利（DB）的学生在寻求进入护理专业时所面临的多层次社会、历史、环境和结构决定因素而做出的努力。护理网络职业与技术（NN-CAT）为北卡罗来纳州西部代表性不足和处境不利的学生提供护理职业网络，并增加了被西卡罗来纳大学录取、留校并获得护理学学士学位的代表性不足和处境不利学生的数量。来自该NN-CAT项目的初步数据表明，解决社会决定因素和消除障碍可以增加成功进入我们护理学院并随后毕业的UREM和教育处境不利学生的数量。这些护士随后进入劳动力市场，并在当地社区提供具有文化意义的护理服务。
