    Abstract

    The nursing profession has fewer racial and ethnic minority groups than the United States population, at large (Campbell, n.d.). Racial/ethnic minority students have lower admission and retention rates than White non-Hispanic students. A review of strategies reveals that to recruit and retain racial/ethnic minority students, schools of nursing will have to use interventions that reach diverse student populations, make connections with middle and high school students, support students during the application process, and mentor current students.
