Background:
There is a critical need to prepare a diverse nursing workforce and address issues of structural racism and health inequities.
Problem:
A shortage of underrepresented nurse faculty exacerbates the lack of diversity in nursing education. Microaggressions and discrimination experienced by underrepresented nursing students hinder their personal and professional growth. Evaluating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and belonging within a school of nursing is crucial for progress.
Approach:
An alumni survey and a faculty/staff survey were conducted to assess DEI perceptions, which informed the development of a strategic plan. Goals focused on monitoring the cultural climate, increasing diversity and inclusivity, and enhancing faculty competencies. Educational offerings and initiatives were implemented to support these goals.
Outcomes:
Ongoing evaluation is essential to sustain progress in this critical area.
Conclusion:
These efforts are necessary for sustainable progress and equitable care provision.
