Abstract

Background

Diversity considerations in hiring faculty in higher education have garnered significant attention globally in recent years. However, analyses of faculty recruitment dynamics outside the United States, particularly in schools and colleges of nursing, have been limited.

Purpose

This paper explores how concepts related to racism apply to recruitment in nursing education, focusing on the specific context of Finland.

Methods

Discourse Approach.

Discussion

Despite the increased admission of foreign students to English-language nursing programs, potential biases against the recruitment of nurse educators from foreign backgrounds could exist in Finland. Local data, anecdotes, and an analysis of the broader literature suggest that robust diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies and guidelines are necessary to enhance the experiences of both instructors and students. Additionally, training and support mechanisms may be needed to enable nursing faculty members from foreign backgrounds to thrive and fully participate in shared governance within academic institutions.

Conclusion

By examining the challenges and proposing strategies for increasing diversity in Finnish nursing education, this paper aims to contribute to the broader discourse on diversity in nursing as a profession.

护理人员招聘中的多样性挑战：芬兰案例。

背景：近年来，高等教育机构在招聘教师时对多样性的考虑在全球范围内引起了广泛关注。目的：本文以芬兰的具体情况为重点，探讨与种族主义相关的概念如何应用于护理教育的招聘工作：讨论：讨论：尽管英语护理专业招收的外国学生越来越多，但芬兰在招聘外国背景的护士教育者时仍可能存在偏见。本地数据、轶事以及对更广泛文献的分析表明，有必要制定强有力的多样性、公平性和包容性（DEI）政策和指导方针，以提高教师和学生的经验。此外，可能还需要培训和支持机制，以使来自外国背景的护理教员能够茁壮成长并充分参与学术机构的共同管理：通过研究芬兰护理教育所面临的挑战并提出提高多样性的策略，本文旨在为更广泛地讨论护理专业的多样性问题做出贡献。
