Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have been committed to educating diverse and underserved populations since their inception. Their commitments for over 100 years have resulted in increased diversity in many careers, but specifically in the field of nursing. HBCU nursing schools have been producing diverse nurses since shortly after the Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves in 1863, and today HBCUs continue to educate, motivate, and develop nurses at every level, including associate, baccalaureate, master, and doctorate. With universal consensus on the need for a diverse and highly functional nursing workforce, both the historic and potential future impact and contributions of HBCUs should not be ignored. HBCU schools of nursing continue to be committed to producing baccalaureate nurses prepared to advance and lead health care in a variety of settings, from a variety of backgrounds. Their commitments to first-generation college students and those from socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds, continue to be a hallmark characteristic of HBCUs, therefore, clearly pointing to their paramount role in producing the future of healthcare.
历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）自成立以来一直致力于教育多样化且服务不足的人群。它们100多年来的努力使得许多职业领域的多样性有所增加，尤其是在护理领域。自1863年《解放黑奴宣言》解放奴隶后不久，HBCU护理学院就一直在培养多样化的护士，如今HBCUs继续在各个层面教育、激励和培养护士，包括副学士、学士、硕士和博士层面。鉴于对多样化且高效能护理 workforce 的需求已达成普遍共识，HBCUs 的历史影响以及潜在的未来影响和贡献都不应被忽视。HBCU护理学院继续致力于培养具备在各种环境中推进和引领医疗保健能力的学士水平护士，这些护士来自各种各样的背景。它们对第一代大学生以及来自社会和经济弱势背景学生的承诺，仍然是HBCUs的一个标志性特征，因此，这清楚地表明了它们在塑造医疗保健未来方面的至关重要作用。
