Mount St. Joseph University

Support from NCIN tripled the college’s population of students from groups traditionally underrepresented in nursing. A reputation for graduating prepared, diverse nurses allowed the program to expand recruitment. It also helped it obtain additional clinical settings, hire diverse clinical faculty, and establish a partnership with a health care organization in its human resources action plan, which aims to increase the recruitment and retention of ethnically diverse candidates. Today, more than half of the NCIN scholars are in leadership positions at health care institutions.
