- Summary:
- Despite a growing recognition of the need for diversity in providing culturally sensitive healthcare, only half of one percent of today's RNs are Native American, while less than two percent are Hispanic or Latino. In this video, seven American Indian and Hispanic/Latino nurses, both women and men, and at various stages in their careers, describe how their lives led them to nursing careers, the educational barriers and successes they experienced, and the ways in which they have used their nursing expertise to serve their families, their tribes, and their communities. This invaluable tool for recruitment and retention presents attractive and convincing role models not only for high school and college students of color who might be considering nursing careers, but for those already in the work force as well. It also carries an important message for other students, clinicians, and administrators regarding the need for greater awareness of diverse cultural beliefs and understandings about the body, illness, and healthcare.
