Latinas in Nursing: Stories of determination, inspiration, and trust - 7265

Being a nurse is a privilege. Treating, educating, and advocating for other humans as they navigate their lives and the world's challenges to become better versions of themselves are some of the gifts of nursing. Being a nurse is a burden. Broken systems, flawed policies, outdated practices, lack of reimbursement, racist structures are realities of the nursing profession. Latinas in Nursing, who comprise less than eight percent of the U.S. registered nurse workforce, face additional barriers in caring for their patients, families, and communities, often sacrificing their own well-being. Latinas in Nursing is a compilation of the beautiful and powerful stories of the challenges, glories, triumphs, defeats, resiliency, growth, and discovery these influential Latina nurses share about their inspiring journeys. This book is a starting point and gateway for Latinas in the nursing profession to what they deserve: support and resources for growth; opportunities to continue to improve nursing and healthcare, and increased and strengthened resources for robust pipelines and support systems to increase and retain the number of Latinas in nursing, nursing leadership, and nursing academia, across the U.S. and eventually, across the world.
