Summary: This article addresses two different issues in the nursing world today. The
first issue they talk about is how the U.S department of Health and Human Services
funded 20 scholarships at St. Louis University. This money, as well at mentoring
allowed 10 freshmen and 10 sophomores to become nurses. Not only will this
money help with the nursing shortage, it will also help with registered nursing
diversity. As of right now, most practicing nursing are white females so these
scholarships will help increase diversity.
