Abstract:
The lack of diversity in the nursing workforce is concerning. Because schools of nursing play an important role in diversifying the nursing workforce, effective strategies must be developed to feed the pipeline. One such strategy is mentoring. The Diversity in Nursing Awareness Project was a mentoring program developed to assist African American students and their parents through the college-going process of nursing education. The aim of the program was not only to bring awareness of nursing as viable career option but also to increase acceptance and enrollment rates of African Americans into baccalaureate degree nursing programs.
