- no there is less whites in nursing and more black stay tuned
nursin I diversity amongst RN and I did some research I was talking to what
started this was a friend of mine saw my video of what happened to me the
incident dealing with someone who had called me ignorant I'm not going to
elaborate on it if you want to check out the video anyway so we were talking
about that there is less whites or Caucasian women in nursing there are we
have male nurse but for this video when you think of nursing be honest what do
you think of Caucasian older if they're young blonde blue eyes
that's nurse unfortunately that's what the majority think when they think of
who's in nursing so I was talking to my friend like I said the other day and
we're just talking about Nursing in general because she is a nurse and we
went to Minnesota together we went to several tribal assignment together and
this one particular assignment we went the majority and nurse the travel nurse
were african-american blacks if you want to call it where whatever name you're
comfortable wit and forgive me if I switch in between african-american and
black the majority of us were there but the nurses in the hospital the majority
were Caucasian and so when I was talking to her the other day and she was saying
there's more black nurses than white nurse and I wanted to know
you know why is that because the mentality when we hear about nursing
everyone they always thinks is the white nurse when I come to the room to give to
introduce myself to the patient she thinks I'm there for something different
and I just it baffled me for years let's let realize that how can I change
that image that when people think of Nursing they only see a one color the
color of my shoes which is white the color of my uniform white and even if I
have a big sign and I talk about this a lot even if I have a big sign say RN or
it may say LPN there's no way they're gonna think that right but they don't
see the sign for some reason I don't understand why well anyway so I did a
little research and we were talking back afford and there's less white in nursing
there's more black and I'll tell you the reason why yes ninety percent of nursing
nurses are white there may be 20 percent blacks african-american and I'm not
talking about Hispanic cuz I don't think they want to be in our in our rating or
statistic I'm not talking about Indian because I don't know if they want to be
part of us and I'm not talking about Asian I'm going to be focusing this
video on african-american and Caucasian
diversity amongst RN more blacks in nursing than white I know what you're
thinking I know you saying that's impossible that there's less white in
nursing than blacks and I tell you a little story it's not
really a story but back in the days I guess back in the war days I looked this
up or back in the days all the white nurses who were in the field in the
nursing field working and then the husband got these big job executive or
you know high-paying ranking job that they could stay home and watch the kids
and most if 99% of Caucasian will rather stay home be a stay home mom and watch
the kids and they the ones that are home some of them are very intelligent their
career oriented and they have education but they just can afford to stay home
and watch the kid while their husband go travel out of state and do his job his
and maybe they have business
unfortunately it's not the choice for African American we don't have that
choice in fact we don't even have the husband we're mostly struggling single
mom nurses is a choice to provide for our family so while these Caucasian or
whites decided that they want to be home with the kids to raise the kids to
home-school the kids give them better opportunity in life while their husband
go out and the husband agree yeah it's okay for you to stay home you can always
go back if you want so when they came out of nursing that's when the
opportunity arose for most African American decided they want to go back to
school the doors open up a little bit just a little bit for the African
American and they decided to become nurses fast
become an LPN one year you can become an RN back in the
diploma program I'm talking about the eighties the seventies and they became
nurses so it's an influx of african-american West Indians people
from different Island that are considered black once you get here in
America you are black no matter how you may think different and so they decided
that's the profession to provide for their children to provide for the family
and he became nurses why am i touching on this topics like I said a friend of
mine we were talking about that but what happened influx of African Americans
decide to go back to school to become a nurse
now the husband of the whites I think I'm trying to say it's the 911 error
because ever since the attack on World Trade Center September 911 it seemed
like the world change it just affect everybody what it is but I felt like
there was a drastic change people start losing their job and the incident about
the home owners with the inflated rate of inflation and and home mortgage and
so these executive had stay-at-home wives they lost their job and then the
whites decide i'ma come back I have a degree I can go back to nursing
part-time or whatever and so they all come back into nursing they're coming
back basically by the tons now I want to take you back a little I did a research
like I said according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics 82% of our
is white and only 10% is black Hispanic although I said I wasn't going to talk
about those it's only 4% and Asian is 7% the largest number of blacks or
african-american is located in the south east south central area which is
Louisiana Texas Alabama Mississippi Tennessee Georgia and Florida basically
they all in the south the blacks yes I would say you heard and I'm sure you
hear of it there is a shortage there's a shortage of Nursing of nurses well let
me tell you more about that I'm not trying to discourage anyone but here's
the fact there is a shortage of African American getting in the nursing program
you heard it from me when I went to Bucks County College and I look at that
wall they got a wall when you go up to the nursing department and I look at all
the students that graduate and I see like maybe one and that was in the
current year of 90 they starts wine or - I see sprinkle in so that tells me that
nursing school is not diverse they're not diverse and I've never had a class
that talked about cultural diversity so trying to get into the nursing program
and I said like I said I'm not here to discourage you but you will be the first
to be turned away and I tell you why
when they are doing their they're looking for prospects see you're up
against first of all most african-american schools don't kind of
they don't what I want to say they don't give us the tool that we need to succeed
basically in other words in a majority of the white school those students are
prepared a chemistry they know about biology they start young and they just
be writing good paragraph and they speak good in English and Dada Dada so when
they sit there for the test and it's basically a general test they're gonna
ace it we're so if you up against students like
those and I don't think that okay I'm trying to say I don't think that the
school is looking at the color of our skin when they determine who gets in the
program I'm trying to say that what they're doing is this one is did um she
had activity in school she was a cheerleader all A's um she's good her
paragraph is 100% and grades and stuff things that little minor detail that
would hinder an african-american child to get in the program and zoom in the
whites so I feel like the nursing school is not diverse enough this only saw an
amount of black will get in and majority if you go into a program and see a lot
of african-american and you see like maybe 30 african-american students and
sixty you're going to be weed out and before the program is ended towards
the end you might see two or three that really make the program and it got to be
you got to be determined that have the mentality like me I don't care what
happened I am going to be a nurse I am going to be an RN you got to have that
focus whatever goes on at home you got to be oblivious and just continue to
study because it's going to be a rocky road for you and I'm not singling out
it's because there's racism or anything is just that's how it is the mentality
is a nurse is considered white when I was gonna be a RN it was okay when I was
the LPN but when I became when I wanted to become an RN in a couple of
Caucasians supervisor they were starting to discourage me but little did they
know don't ever discourage Patrice because
once you tell me I can't and I'm going back in question why can't I so it's
like a challenge for me to keep going and I did and I continued and I became
an RN so I'm not here to discourage I just wanted to see I starts talk about
this very clearly what I was gonna say it's just see mind-boggling how's
society how they still think but then again that's the reasons for why you've
seen an influx of african-americans coming into the field and the reason why
you are not seeing enough whites but now they're back they're back they're coming
back they need to feed their family the husband lost the job we need to do
something so now pulling out that degree taking a refresher course and coming
back and there will better they'll probably quicker to get the job and
that's why yours on the sidelines waiting for a job PR in
because they gonna want day shifts because they want to be home with the
kids you're gonna be off for night shift I said it and I'm not taking it back I
don't want to end this video without letting you know why is diversity is
very important in nursing we need to have a diverse set of nurses from all
culture because when you're dealing with patients you're not only dealing with
Caucasian patient you're dealing with african-american yudina
dealing with patient from spanish-speaking patient you're dealing
with all sorts of patient all over culturally diverse you need to be able
to communicate with them and when I say communicate with them not the language
wise you may not be able to speak Spanish although some Hospital depends
on the area would like for you to have a Spanish background I took Spanish but
I've never you know utilized it that much so I need to brush up on that but
anyway you need to know that how to take care your Indian patient how to take
care your Asian patient some Asian patient they won't tell you when they're
in pain and Mexican or Spanish speaking patient the family is very much involved
that means you might go into the patient room and it's hard for you to get to
your patient because it's like 20 or 30 people there to support them so you need
to know the cultural diversity how to you know who's the patriarch and the
matriarch and the family just know things that cultural the tips that will
you know part of surviving in nursing but that's
the deal with that's the deal with being diverse anyway a lot of nursing school
now are trying to get on the bandwagon and be more diverse so I'm getting
involved involving enrolling nurses from all over and they're doing like maybe
they have scholarship you heard of you take advantage of that so I don't want
to leave you thinking that oh you're never gonna get into nursing school
because you're black or because you're for different race and it's only closed
off and it's only for whites no you will get in it may take some time you know
what don't always look at I'm not there I'm not getting there because it's the
color of my skin sometimes it's not that look at for me personally I had to
because of my background I didn't have the proper school in order the schooling
was there but I would did not take advantage of it I was hanging out in the
street but I did finish high school and so I was limited I had to take remedial
class to get up to the level of college first of all get up to the level of high
school learning to write correct English I'm still a little on the backwards side
speaking it but I had to learn how to write how to pass these chemistry and
medical terminology and be up to the level of college before I got in the
program so I had to take a lot of remedial English a lot of remedial math
a lot of remedial social study everything really it's like starting
over in high school at an older age and once I did and they felt like the school
felt that I capable I was able to transfer into
nursing and that's when I had I was going to be an RN at that time but with
a baby in the stomach I decided I'm gonna be an LPN so I could work so don't
be discouraged the road may seem rocky I want you to know that it's going to be
tough it's never easy nothing is nothing is going to be handed to you in nursing
and if you get an opportunity where the doors came open and you got in you make
it worth your while you keep and stay in and don't let
anyone take that opportunity from you if you like this video please give me a
thumbs up like this video share it and have a wonderful day night in your
country or your state goodbye
