The thoroughfare talks about how racism still continues to affect minority nursing students and nurses in professional roles. The thoroughfare also describes Black nurses’ and Black nursing students’ experiences of role conflict as an outcome of perceived racism within the nursing profession to gain an understanding of factors that contribute to perceived racism and role conflict. The thoroughfare has very useful information on how there are many factors that contribute to the racism that minorities encounter when going into the nursing field. The thoroughfare talks in a very broad way using a time period from all the way from the late 1992-2011 to help have a better understanding of the claim the author is making, such as how there is a certain role that is pushed on to black women to even the lack of integration within the nursing field. This thoroughfare piqued my interest due to the title and how specific it was within my topic. I don't think I'll come back to this thoroughfare just due to how old it is and I want to focus more on the current day. This time period is too far back and doesn't really align with where I'm trying to go.

This dissertation from a student at Cabrini University provides the effects of black nursing students going to predominantly white institutions while also talking about how black students are often faced with greater challenges than their white classmates. The article has very useful information, such as what black students encounter differently while being a black nursing student in a predominantly white institution (PWI) to even how there is poor communication and lack of accountability for supporting black students which can affect how PWI teachers can help support their black nursing students. The author gives lots of insight on what black students can encounter,while also trying to give advice to stop this cycle. This dissertation has piqued my interest, this article has made me want to learn even more about my topic and makes me very excited for what my research/project has for me in store while also helping me learn that I’m not alone in how I feel sometimes when going to a PWI high school myself.

This article provides information on how black women are misrepresented in the nursing field and how she's felt that has affected her career and how she feels like she has to have a voice for both herself and her patients to help the lack of representation change in the nursing field. Throughout the article, Glass expresses her concern and determination to help end the cycle of stereotypes and increase representation. This article has very useful information, partially with the specific examples of how caring for patients as a black woman is more than just caring for them, it’s through navigating systemic challenges, advocating for underrepresented patients, and educating the next generation of healthcare professionals. The goal of the article is to help break the generational curse of having lack of diversity in healthcare and to help inform future generations of what can happen if we don't help change the lack of diversity. The article has helped me learn more on what happens in the health care system and what black women and patients experience in the nursing field.
Shirley, Konrad(2019). Why having black woman in the nursing field is important. An improving issue in the nursing field.
The article provides information on how it is very important to have black nurses representation in the nursing field. The author breaks down the statistics of how many nurses are in the nursing field while also giving a percent of how many black women are in the nursing field. Through the article Shirely expresses the generations of mistreatment that black people can encounter while both being a nurse and patient. This article has very useful information, partially with the specific statistic examples and how us future black nurses need to use are voices to help recruit and influence younger African Americans to want to be in the medical field while also expressing that improving diversity is very important and black nurse leader need to take action to help this goal become reality. The goal of the article is to help spread awareness of what black nurses and patients can encounter while in the nursing field while also encouraging the black nurse leaders to use their voice and power to help improve diversity. The article has helped me understand that I’m not the only one with the same goal to help spread awareness of the lack of diversity that is within the nursing community.
