Abstract:
Nurse educators are called to increase diversity in the clinical and faculty workforce; promote safe, inclusive learning environments; develop curricula that provide an anti-biased view of patients and health conditions; and provide students with educational opportunities to learn from individuals with diverse backgrounds. An innovative curriculum design inclusive of Indigenous worldviews was implemented at a tribal college. It provides an exemplar that supports diverse student learning, retention, and graduation. A curriculum inclusive of experiences that promote reflective practices and cultural safety can contribute toward a diverse, inclusive nursing workforce that provides equitable care while addressing social determinants of health.
