BSN-Accelerating Inclusivity and Diversity (BSN-AID) Program
The BSN-AID program goal is to prepare diverse baccalaureate-level nurses to meet the complex healthcare needs of the communities that nurses serve. The program aims to improve the quality of care and address existing health disparities by increasing opportunities for diverse nursing students, including those who are from racial and ethnic groups underrepresented in nursing or who are economically or educationally disadvantaged. BSN-AID will help prepare students to become leaders in providing high-quality, culturally responsive care. The program is funded by a grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration.
