Fall Must-Haves: Reading, Resources and Recruitment Tools
This is the time of year when consumer magazines are full of photo spreads showcasing everything from the coolest college dorm accessories and the new fall fashions to previews of the sleekest new 2007 cars. But what about nurses who want to know what resources are available to help them provide culturally sensitive care to diverse patient populations, or to help recruit the next generation of minority nurses? With this in mind, Minority Nurse is pleased to present our own version of that venerable standby, the Fall Shopping Guide.
Nurse Scientists: Committed to the Public TrustNurse Scientists: Committed to the Public Trust, an 11-minute video sponsored by Johnson & Johnson’s Campaign for Nursing’s Future, is an excellent recruitment tool for encouraging nursing students and future nurses to consider research careers. Also available as a DVD, it includes interviews with several prominent minority nurse scholars, including Dr. Sandra Underwood of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Dr. Nilda Peragallo of the University of Miami and Dr. Graham McDougall of the University of Texas at Austin.
