Nurse educators have the professional obligation to promote a positive learning environment for all nurses and students in our increasingly diverse society. In order for the future diverse nursing workforce to succeed, nurse educators must embrace diversity in its broader sense. This article discusses the role of nursing educators in promoting a culturally appropriate and inclusive learning environment and provides strategies for meeting the learning needs of an increasingly diverse nursing workforce.
