A Culture Shift: Case Studies of Social Mission in Nursing Education

Nurse Educator Tips for Teaching

Nursing schools need to provide students with the appropriate tools to develop competencies and resources to actualize moral courage to advance health equity and social mission. This podcast with Dr. Asefeh Faraz Covelli describes themes from a study involving 6 nursing programs that exemplify a variety of ways that social mission goals are pursued in different contexts. While each school approaches social mission differently, there are commonalities across cases including a number of necessary factors for schools to advance their social mission goals. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and social determinants of health were integral to the study.
