Abstract:
The U.S. population is undergoing a considerable transformation as individuals become substantially older and more racially and ethnically diverse. The nursing workforce should mirror the general population to improve the likelihood that healthcare systems provide culturally appropriate care. However, in nursing education, minority leaders, faculty, and students are underrepresented. All faculty and students can gain unique insights into cultural humility, race relations, and ethnicity from underrepresented nurse leaders. Increasing the number of underrepresented academic leaders may help nursing programs recruit, educate, mentor, and successfully graduate more underrepresented nursing students. This article highlights the importance of underrepresented individuals in academic nursing leadership positions and their influence on recruiting and retaining underrepresented faculty and students.
