Beard, a nurse researcher, educator, and the leader of the recent National League for Nursing (NLN) “Diversity & Inclusion: Facilitating Race-Related Discourse that Matters” workshop. We chat about creating more inclusive nursing workplaces and the need to develop the leadership abilities of culturally diverse nurse leaders.
