OADN is invested in advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the profession of nursing and in nursing education. The Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) nurse is charged with threading diversity, equity, and inclusion in the professional practice. We believe the ADN nurse holds the key to making the future of nursing safe and equitable for all patient populations, nursing students, and educators of all backgrounds.
This OADN Toolkit aims to provide ADN programs, educators, and administrators with the resources they need to evaluate their current curriculums, integrate new content to address health inequities and improve overall faculty and student diversity, equity, and inclusion. We hope you find the following evidence-based tools helpful in assessing and implementing DEI concepts into the curriculum.
Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will become familiar with the definition of DEI.
Upon completion, participants will learn the need for DEI in nursing education.
Upon completion, participants will be able to utilize the OADN Toolkit to assess their nursing curricula.
