The legislation provided substantial funding for nursing education to increase the supply of nurses and improve the quality of nursing services. However, contemporary investigations into the causes of the shortage focused on the professional lives and experiences of white women, who were the main target of nurse recruitment and retention efforts. This research shifts the focus to Black women nurses, examining both the causes of the shortage and the impact of the NTA on the nursing workforce from their perspective. It argues that a key achievement of the NTA-alongside the Civil Rights Act of 1964-was the dismantling of legalized racial segregation in professional nursing schools, a major barrier to the development of the Black professional nursing class. Yet, this federal intervention was not simply bestowed; it was the result of decades of sustained advocacy by Black nurses from the 1890s to the 1960s to secure equal educational opportunity and federal support for their civil liberties. Viewing this landmark legislation through the eyes of Black nurses underscores the federal government's pivotal role in both promoting and obstructing racial and healthcare equality. As the nation faces yet another nursing shortage, coupled with the eradication of affirmative action and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, this perspective is especially timely and important for informing current and future issues pertaining to health equity.","PeriodicalId":53177,"journal":{"name":"Policy, Politics, and Nursing Practice","volume":" ","pages":"56-64"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11731403/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142923927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence demonstrates NLCs' effectiveness in delivering high quality and cost-effective primary care services to underserved communities. However, few studies have analyzed the role and meaning of community within NLCs. This article uses historical research to analyze and evaluate the roles played by communities in three community-based NLCs established between the 1960s and 1990s. This research shows that how nurses entered the communities they intended to provide care, the degree to which they collaborated with community members to conceptualize, operationalize, and maintain NLCs, and how they balanced community needs with academic imperatives are critical to understanding and addressing the difficulties NLCs have encountered delivering sustained, community-centered care. This research also addresses the impact on communities when NLCs fail, making clear the need for policy interventions that address the financial and political factors undermining NLCs' sustainability, particularly limitations on nurse practitioners' practice authority and credentialing as Medicaid providers, and reduced reimbursement rates for nurse practitioners. Ultimately, it argues that NLCs' engagement with underserved communities should be historically informed and integrate community expertise, robust community engagement, and community-centered definitions of quality care.","PeriodicalId":53177,"journal":{"name":"Policy, Politics, and Nursing Practice","volume":" ","pages":"6-15"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142548904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While this burgeoning health and environmental crisis exacerbated this workforce issue, it did not create it. This study seeks to expand the idea of \"who is a nurse\" by arguing for the use of Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) as safe, credentialed persons in the nursing workforce. Archival research using primary and secondary sources highlights the history of the LPN movement. Historical case studies of LPN schools show how LPNs enhanced not only the quantity but also the quality of nursing practice. Case studies also reveal successful collaborations between nurses, communities, and hospitals to enhance the nursing workforce and community well-being. Aspects of this study were either approved by or deemed not human subjects research by institutional review boards. The increased emphasis on the registered nurse in the mid-20th century led to the marginalization of LPNs. Yet, history has revealed that collaborations that enhance diversity in the workforce and improve health-care access for patients, without compromising quality of care, can be formed by engaging LPNs. LPNs must be respected as consistent contributors to the country's health-care workforce. As the AACN commits to diversifying nursing, it is significant that LPNs have added to a more diverse, inclusive nursing labor force. For LPNs who wish to advance their nursing education, pathway programs must be supported-thus increasing diversity in the professional and advanced practice workforce.","PeriodicalId":53177,"journal":{"name":"Policy, Politics, and Nursing Practice","volume":" ","pages":"24-39"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142607384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The bill sought to address access to and insurance coverage for mental health services, first identified in a report in 2020. The budget for mental health services was reduced by $8 m in 2020, despite an all-time high demand due to the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. There is an increasing inability to secure mental health care in the state. Georgia is ranked 37th in the country for access to quality mental health care (Reinert, Fritze, and Nguyen, 2022) and half the counties in the state have no psychiatrist; the projected mental health workforce will be able to meet only 12% of consumer demand by 2025. Problems with mental health care in Georgia have a long history which intersects with the history of racism, geographical segregation, and policing. HB1013 does not consider any of this history in its recommendations, which barely include nursing. At the same time, policy and practice in Georgia continues to entangle nurses and other professionals with a carceral and punitive system which not only threatens the safety of patients, but also nurses themselves. Nurses need to understand this history if they hope to develop policy that will intervene in the mental health care crisis.","PeriodicalId":53177,"journal":{"name":"Policy, Politics, and Nursing Practice","volume":" ","pages":"16-23"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142570168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The international nurse recruitment company that hired them underpaid them, assigned them to work in unsafe conditions with low nurse-to-patient ratios, and breached other parts of their contracts with the nurses. When the nurses decided to resign and break from their contracts early, the recruitment company retaliated, initiating civil, administrative, and criminal charges against the nurses. The Sentosa nurses' story reflects that by the end of the first decade of the 2000s, the international nurse recruitment industry grew not only in size, but also in power, leaving internationally-educated nurses vulnerable to exploitation. More recent reports from 2019 of the labor trafficking of internationally-educated nurses are not new. Instead, a historical perspective reveals an ongoing pattern of deceptive practices and informs recommendations for stricter policies that ban recruiters from using liquidated damages provisions or breach-of-contract fees to trap nurses in exploitative work environments.","PeriodicalId":53177,"journal":{"name":"Policy, Politics, and Nursing Practice","volume":" ","pages":"47-55"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142548905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the American Nurses Association, this has taken the form of the National Commission to Address Racism in Nursing. One result of that work has been the Report on the History of Racism in Nursing, which details the constant maligning of the competence of Black nurses and their systematic exclusion from institutions within the profession. In this article, we want to take these ideas further and argue that the issue for nursing is not so much a generic kind of racism that a professional reorganization can address, but rather a deep and abiding \"anti-blackness\" that is intrinsic to the heart and soul of medical and health knowledge itself. Anti-blackness as an idea comes from a collection of theoretical interventions developed by Black philosophers, literary theorists, sociologists, and historians who continue to grapple with the question posed by W.E.B. DuBois: \"How does it feel to be a problem?\" Anti-blackness is the \"relegation of Black people to inhumanity and non-being\" and \"is a global phenomenon that takes on distinct forms of expression in each sociocultural context.\" Given the call to understand the role of historical, social, political, environmental, and economic factors via the social determinants of health, a more expansive approach is needed to articulate the Black lived experience. Anti-blackness is one tool available to nurses interested in a deeper level of analysis.","PeriodicalId":53177,"journal":{"name":"Policy, Politics, and Nursing Practice","volume":" ","pages":"40-46"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142923886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The BCPCB is a provincial government program in British Columbia (B.C.), Canada, that provides eligible residents with palliative care services at home. Utilizing Fairclough's Dialectical-Relational Critical Discourse Analysis, the study investigates the process by which BCPCB determines B.C. residents' eligibility and access to resources proportionate to their need, function, illness burden, and urgency. This article reviews the construction of palliative care in Canada and how current biomedical perspectives construct palliative care policy and services in B.C. The findings indicate that the BCPCB program produces vague, discriminatory, and ableist prognostication practices through the implementation of its eligibility policy. This article also suggests that palliative care nurses are optimally positioned for policy influence: to critique, disrupt, and transform the BCPCB Program and palliative care practices.","PeriodicalId":53177,"journal":{"name":"Policy, Politics, and Nursing Practice","volume":" ","pages":"74-84"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11731397/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142796486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a narrative case study approach, publicly available data from various sources, including mainstream and social media platforms, were analyzed. The nurse in this narrative left the country following disappointment with government officials, despite winning the deportation case. The findings of the study also revealed that the deportation decision faced by the foreign-born intensive care nurse has significant implications for nursing education, healthcare management, and government policies, indicating the need for necessary reforms.

This scoping review explores experiences of internationally educated nurses, midwives, and healthcare professionals in the UK since 2010, acknowledging the historical context of UK recruitment policy and the implementation of codes of practice by the World Health Organisation and the UK government.Methods: Using the Population, Concept, and Context framework, systematic literature searches were conducted in various databases, including CINAHL, Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed/Medline, and Google Scholar. Covidence software facilitated screening, with data systematically extracted and analyzed.Results: The scoping review included 24 papers focusing on nurses (n = 19), midwives (n = 1), and various allied health professions (n = 4), spanning from 2010 to 2023. Findings revealed diverse challenges and facilitators, from professional recognition and career opportunities to discrimination, language barriers, and socioeconomic factors influencing integration and retention.Conclusion: The review highlights the multifaceted experiences of internationally educated healthcare professionals (IEHPs) in the UK workforce. Despite their significant contributions, IEHPs face challenges such as unrecognized skills, third-party recruitment issues, and cultural adjustment difficulties. Addressing registration processes, recruitment practices, and cultural competence training is crucial to creating an inclusive environment that maximizes IEHPs' contributions and ensures their professional growth and well-being, ultimately benefiting the healthcare sector.","PeriodicalId":53177,"journal":{"name":"Policy, Politics, and Nursing Practice","volume":" ","pages":"15271544241289605"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142677545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
