The Only One
What is the effect of being the only nurse of color in the healthcare setting? Why is diversity important in nursing leadership?
In The Only One, nurses discuss the weight of being the only nurse of color in their facility, being invisible to colleagues, being mistaken by patients and the importance of “someone who looks like you saying that you can go to college.”
