In the September 2021 issue of the American Journal of Nursing, contributor Frank Brodhead published an article titled Adapting to Racial Trends in the U.S. Population. With the U.S. Census Bureau projecting that today's racial/ethnic minority groups will become the majority by 2043, nursing schools are being called upon to expand efforts to enhance diversity in student and faculty populations. Using data compiled by AACN in a recent Data Spotlight on Trends in Black/African American Nursing Graduates and Faculty, Brodhead examines the progress we are making in this area as well as AACN’s work to forge new pathways to academic careers for underrepresented groups in nursing.
On September 16, 2021, Scientific American published a first-person account from a critical care nurse on the frontlines of the pandemic titled A New Nurse Struggles to Save Patients in a New COVID Surge. Nurse Kathryn Ivey from Nashville, Tennessee details her daily struggle as a new nurse to provide essential patient care in the face of mounting challenges, including insufficient staffing and the latest surge in COVID-19 patients. |
