“…Nurse leaders must ensure that induction programmes include cultural training to enable the diverse team to provide culturally congruent care.

Background: Nurse leaders are essential to manage nursing practices that affect patient safety; therefore, they must create and sustain a sound safety culture in a diverse cultural environment.Aim: To describe the specific actions required by nurse leadership to enhance the sustainability of a safety culture in hospitals and among a diverse nursing team, ultimately improving patient outcomes.Setting: Two hospitals in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) were selected purposively, based on the diversity of the nursing team.Methods: A quantitative design, using Reason’s safety culture framework and Ekenedo’s behavioural safety model, formed the theoretical background of this study to identify the safety culture and positive work environment that exist among culturally diverse nurses. Thirty-four nurse managers and 417 nurses were conveniently selected to participate. Various instruments were used to gather hospital outcomes and other data from respondents pertaining to their demographics, patient safety, positive work environments and safety culture.Results: Findings received from the nursing team describe the correlation between patient safety, a diverse nursing workforce and positive work environment affecting a safety culture and promoting positive patient outcomes.Conclusion: Nurse leaders’ integration of specific actions to address the system, as well as diverse nursing teams’ behavioural practices, create a patient care environment that adequately contributes to safety culture practices and enhances positive patient outcomes, which are essential for a culture of safety.Contribution: The study contributes by providing a structured integration of specific actions for nurse leaders to sustain practices ensuring positive patient outcomes.

“…Evidence suggests that another strategy that can help with the retention and graduation of diverse nursing students is mentorship by faculty and other students. 28 The presence of Native American faculty is imperative for Aaniiih Nakoda College students. Native American faculty support Indigenous students through their shared cultural knowledge and experience and can advise non-Indigenous faculty in the many situations that arise during a semester, as students negotiate family, nursing, community, and school issues.…”

Holistic admission review (HAR) practices have been identified as a means to increase diversity in the nursing profession. HAR practices consider the whole applicant in a dignified and respectful manner, while focusing on valued experiences, attributes, and metrics needed for the nursing profession. Nursing has lagged behind other healthcare professions in implementing holistic admissions and with support from national organizations are starting to move onward. Interviewing applicants appears to be a process embraced not only by healthcare service organizations but now by schools (and colleges) of nursing (SONs) that have implemented HAR practices. There is much to gain and not much to lose by using holistic admissions. In addition, increasing diversity in nursing is the only way one can determine if nursing diversity improves health disparities. Faculty need to consider all that their SONs, the profession, and those they serve can gain by implementing holistic admissions.
