Establishing Reputational Equity for the Nursing Profession
Journal Title: Nursing & Healthcare International Journal - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The nursing profession in the United States was experiencing a labor shortage and facing diversity and inclusion challenges prior to the Covid-19 pandemic [1-5]. Magnifying these problems, the nation’s population was shifting--geographically and demographically [6,7]. This resulted in changes in both where nurses are needed in the health care system and the nursing skill set required to address health care needs of a far more diverse clientele of patients—in terms of race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, age, living arrangements, socio-economic status, and spoken language
