How is the nursing workforce addressing diversity and inclusion?
The nursing workforce is increasingly recognizing the importance of diversity and inclusion in providing equitable healthcare. Efforts are being made to recruit and retain nurses from diverse backgrounds, ensuring that the workforce reflects the diverse populations they serve. This includes addressing barriers to entry for underrepresented groups and providing mentorship and support.
Nursing education and training programs are incorporating cultural competency to prepare nurses to provide sensitive and inclusive care to patients from various cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. By promoting diversity and inclusion, the nursing profession aims to reduce health disparities and improve outcomes for all patients.
