Inclusive Excellence in Nursing Education

摘要

Understanding a person's experiences, challenges, and thought processes is essential in expanding the dialogue on race and ethnicity in nursing education. Having firsthand experience of what it feels like to be a minority in the profession—starting as an undergraduate nursing student and moving through to positions of leadership—it was easy for me to detect environments where one was welcomed, tolerated, marginalized, or invisible. My journey encompassed many settings and spanned several institutions; some environments were welcoming, yet others not so much. Institutional work and learning climates matter.
