Infos

Diversity is increasing within the U.S. population; however, the nursing profession continues to lag in recruitment and retention of nurses representing the residents of the communities they serve. As communities diversify, the nursing profession must rise to the challenge of truly representing their communities. Journey to Equity: Strengthening the Nursing Profession provides an historic perspective through the personal stories of nurses with diverse racial, gender, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds. These nurses share their unique journeys and their recommendations for the future. Journey to Equity will help readers see the nursing community through the eyes of their peers who have different backgrounds and identities. Each chapter follows the experience of a different nurse, how they came to the profession, the unique challenges they faced, and the lessons they learned as they advanced in their career. These narratives will provide critical insight into diversity, inclusion, and equity for nurses who are leading change and improvement in healthcare now and in the future.
