Abstract
Increasing diversity in nursing is important because of the changing demographics of patient populations and health care disparities in the United States. Increasing minority nursing student retention will directly change the diversity of nursing workforce. A variety of strategies have been incorporated into different nursing programs to help the retention of minority students. Compared to different strategies, minority faculty can play a key role to work as a role model and mentor to help minority nursing students with their personal, academic and institutional barriers to their success.
