Diversity in the Nursing Workforce #1

Workplace diversity is the collective, all-inclusive mixture of human differences and similarities that provides an organization with a large pool of people with knowledge, skills, and abilities required for the accomplishment of organizational goals and objectives.

Creating a more diverse health care workforce has value for the people being served and the health care organization from the perspective of its employees and leaders.

Diversity in the Nursing Workforce #2

Nursing has become increasingly diverse in age, gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, and educational preparation.

Nurses from minority backgrounds account for 19% of the RN workforce.

Men represent 9.6% of the nursing workforce.

Men in nursing attain higher wages and faster promotions than do women.

Currently employed RNs are nearing or have exceeded retirement age, fewer RNs between 36 and 45 years old.

Nursing is in the midst of a period of substantive transformation that is influenced by the following three trends:

1. An aging population of Baby Boomers who are now experiencing manifestations of the aging process and retirement from the health care and other workforces

2. Passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 that provides health insurance to millions of people in the United States who previously were uninsured

3. Increased educational preparation for nurses

Copyright © 2016 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved

 

9

Answer to Question #1

True

Rationale: Individualists work to earn a living. People are expected to work; they need not enjoy it. Leisure or recreational activities frequently are pursued to alleviate the monotony of work. People from individualist cultures tend to dichotomize work and leisure. Individualist concepts of work reflect an orientation toward the future.

Most English-speaking and European countries have individualist cultures.

Answer to Question #2

A. Paid time off

Rationale: Cultural values exert an influence on workplace factors which in turn influence each other, such as: time orientation, family obligations, etiquette, communication patterns, space/distance, touch, meaning of work, and work ethic. When cultural values of individual staff members conflict with the organizational values or those held by coworkers, challenges, misunderstandings, and difficulties in the workplace become inevitable.

Rationale: The successful transcultural nurse administrator will behave respectfully toward others from diverse backgrounds and will implement policies that promote cultural understanding, knowledge, and skill in the workplace.

Cultural Self-Assessment of Health Care Organizations, Institutions, and Agencies #4

After conducting a cultural assessment of the health care organization, institution, or agency, facilitators, and barriers can be identified.
