The lack of a diverse nursing workforce and inclusive nursing student pipeline initiatives can impact existing health disparities in the United States.
Gaps in the representation of future Black nurses in schools of nursing provide missed opportunities for cultural congruence and awareness.
Developing collaborative relationships with historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) for recruitment is a mutually beneficial strategy. Undergraduate interns from 3 HBCUs attended a 6-week summer nursing immersion program at a graduate school of nursing on the campus of a predominately White institution. The aim was to provide awareness of the nursing profession and mentorship for further exploration into the profession.
The program managed by Black nurse faculty provides a recruitment strategy that serves as a framework to support the financial, emotional, and social needs of prospective Black nursing students.
缺乏多样化的护理人员队伍和包容性的护理学生管道计划可能会影响美国现有的健康差距。
护理学校中未来黑人护士人数的差距为文化一致性和意识提供了错失的机会。
与历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）建立合作关系以进行招聘是一种互利的策略。来自 3 所 HBCUs 的本科生实习生参加了为期 6 周的暑期护理沉浸计划，该计划在一所以白人为主的机构的护理研究生院进行。目的是提高对护理职业的认识，并为进一步探索该职业提供指导。
该计划由黑人护士教师管理，提供了一种招聘策略，可作为支持未来黑人护理学生的财务、情感和社会需求的框架。
