Background:
Racial and ethnic minority faculty members within nursing academia are critical to the recruitment and training of a diverse health care workforce. Effective strategies and opportunities for the success of minorities within nursing faculty must be identified and explored.
Purpose:
The purpose of this paper is to identify strategies for support being utilized by nursing faculty of color, and support systems that practicing faculty of color believe would aid their success in academia.
Method:
This descriptive survey used an 18-item online survey distributed to faculty of color in nursing academic institutions throughout the United States. Of the completed surveys, 116 responses met inclusion criteria.
Results:
Common themes from faculty of color emerged regarding the importance of mentorship, faculty development, networking and acknowledgement.
Conclusion:
Respondents noted their experience with successful support systems and strategies and support systems they found to be lacking. Strategies were recommended for promoting faculty of color in schools and colleges of nursing.
