Abstract

Healthcare organizations must be intentional and purposeful in creating diversity programs. To meet this need, a nursing leader mentorship program for racial and/or ethnic minority nurse managers was introduced at a large academic medical center. The program design was based on the successful Leadership Institute for Black Nurses, first conducted at a university school of nursing. The particpants in the four-month program were 16 nurse managers from two city hospitals, and their mentors.
