title: Is there really racism in nursing?
abstract: Nurses have long been aware of the array of cultural differences within society and how those differences impact health care delivery. One of the corporate buzz-words of the decade is diversity. Does nursing with all of its experience in managing various ethnic variances truly embrace this concept as a professional value? Or does the sociological trend of white female domination of the profession lend a hand to racism? Could there really be racism in nursing? Racism in nursing is examined from a historical, professional, and personal perspective to analyze the relevance of this timely issue to educators within the profession.
