What are the unique challenges/barriers faced by diverse populations in nursing education? 

 DISSCUSION 
the authors talk about the challenge of inclusivity in nursing education.  They explain that educators believe we embrace cultural diversity and are committed to meeting the needs of all learners, but the research suggests otherwise.  Our teaching practices have not caught up with our beliefs.  For this week’s assignment, do some research on diverse populations in nursing education. In addition to presenting your research, be sure to address the following:

What are the unique challenges/barriers faced by diverse populations in nursing education?  There are many that you can address, but at a minimum, you must address racially and ethnically diverse groups and students with disabilities. 
How can mostly white and female nurse educators serve as role models and mentors for diverse populations?

Sources: You can use any of the posted articles and your books as references. Find at least two additional peer-reviewed nursing journal articles that relate to your area of focus. 

Discuss how historical sales data, as well as promotional response data, can aid you in evaluating the effectiveness of the individual marketing/advertising approaches.

Understanding of probability is key in making business decisions. The following begins to test your understanding of the different forms of probability and the data on which probabilistic decision making is based.
