Healthcare workforce diversity is foundational for the reduction of health disparities, improvement of population health outcomes and the enhancement of patient satisfaction. To increase workforce diversity, health professional programs must be more inclusive during the admission process. Considering demographic trends and the changing landscape of healthcare, it is in the best interests of all institutions that develop students for healthcare roles to actively seek out qualified candidates from diverse backgrounds. Many colleges and universities have employed a holistic admission process to assemble a diverse class of students with the background, qualities, and skills needed for success in the profession. By engaging with students from diverse backgrounds, individuals learn how to think critically about the needs of all sectors of the community. This article discusses how one regional campus developed, implemented, and evaluated a holistic admissions process for their Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program in pursuit of a tool to work toward that aim.
医疗保健劳动力的多样性是减少健康差距、改善人口健康结果和提高患者满意度的基础。为了增加劳动力的多样性，医疗保健专业人员的课程在招生过程中必须更加包容。考虑到人口趋势和医疗保健领域的变化，所有培养医疗保健角色学生的机构都从利益最大化的角度出发，积极从不同背景中寻找合格的候选人。许多学院和大学采用整体招生流程，以招收具有背景、素质和技能的多样化学生群体，为成功从事该职业做好准备。通过与来自不同背景的学生接触，个人学会如何批判性地思考社区所有部门的需求。本文讨论了一个地区性校区如何为其护理理学学士 (BSN) 课程开发、实施和评估整体招生流程，以寻求实现这一目标的工具。
