Abstract:
A diverse nursing workforce is key to addressing health disparities and moving the United States towards health equity. Building and sustaining a diverse nursing work force requires close attention to admissions, including interviews. Bias in nursing school interviews has been documented, particularly impacting applicants from historically excluded groups (especially racial and ethnic minorities). With the pivot to remote interviews due to Covid 19, faculty and schools now need to consider bias in remote interviews. This article describes the implementation and outcomes of a faculty training to identify and mitigate bias in remote interviews.
