Hispanics in Nursing The National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN) is profiling Hispanic nurses in a new radio campaign -- Carreras en Enfermería / Hispanics in Nursing -- to spark the interest of persons looking for rewarding and fulfilling career opportunities to grow professionally as a nurse.
Featured Role Model
David Vilanova
David Vilanova recently graduated from Fairfield University in Connecticut. Promoting nurses to improve the health of the Hispanic community is not just the motto of the Connecticut Chapter of National Association of Hispanic Nurses but something that David truly believes in. As an active member of NAHN and a new registered nurse he has seen the need for more culturally competent nurses. Being involved in his community and his fulfilling nursing career keeps David motivated.
Out of the 3,000,000 registered nurses in the U.S., Hispanics represent only 3.6% even though Hispanics make up 17% of the U.S. population. Many Hispanic students and parents are not aware of the multiple opportunities that exist in the nursing fields.
