Research has demonstrated that Black, Indigenous, People of Color are under-represented in the nursing workforce. This problem has a direct impact on the workforce's ability to deliver high quality and culturally competent care. In most inner city NICUs the workforce in the NICU does not represent the NICU population. Creighton University is committed to improving Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in nursing. The goal of this project is to increase diversity in the CON and the NICU workforce to decrease the health and racial disparities in the NICU.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, the participant will be able to state the percentage of BIPOC nurses in the current workforce.
Upon completion, the participant will be able to identify two types of racial disparities in the NICU.
Upon completion, the participant will be able to name two activities to introduce high school students to Creighton University and neonatology,
