Purpose

The Nursing Workforce Diversity Program provides funding to assist students from disadvantaged backgrounds in becoming registered nurses using evidence-based strategies to support nursing students from enrollment through graduation. The approach should include an assessment of the social determinants that impede the educational success of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, identification of the needs of these students, and implementation of tailored, evidence-based strategies to address their identified social determinants and multi-faceted needs. The purpose is to expand and support a workforce to provide quality, culturally-aligned care to rural and underserved communities in need.
