title: Nursing needs minorities.
abstract: Community college and university nursing programs need to increase the number of nurses entering our profession with a special emphasis on those of ethnic minority background. To advance nursing education and the status of nursing joint ADN-BSN articulated nursing programs need to be developed. Many more aggressive and sophisticated strategies for increasing the pool of minorities nurses throughout the higher educational system must be employed. Only then can quality service to our multi-ethnic society be ensured.
