A guide to application of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles for prelicensure nursing education.

Prelicensure nurse educators have varying levels of comfort and experience including principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in their courses. This may be due to a lack of faculty experience with these topics or confusion about how best to address complex topics. Specifically, nurse faculty may be unsure how to address race-based medicine, improve the care of minoritized populations, and provide safe spaces for LGBTQIA+ patients. This article offers a guide to address DEI content in various prelicensure nursing courses, including fundamentals, medical-surgical nursing, pathophysiology, pharmacology, and nursing care of the childbearing family, as well as student perceptions of DEI curriculum integration.
