Abstract
Much attention has been given to diversity, equity, and inclusion in health care for more than a decade. This has resulted in slow progression in moving the needle. Minority nurses continue to be unrepresented and express higher levels of dissatisfaction in comparison with their White counterparts. Minority nurses report significantly higher odds of being dissatisfied with their independence at work, advancement opportunities, salary, and tuition benefits. This article provides a context for minority nurse underrepresentation and dissatisfaction and suggests actionable interventions to make nursing more inclusive.
