Not a homework assignment, but I want some educated opions on why there is so much disparity amongst the nursing leadership workforce, and from what I have seen it never correlates with patient population. Being that I am from a different ethnic background I am more sensitive and observant of the trends. But I think our profession and influence has come far enough that we can select candidates based on their merit and acumen vs their politcal and fraternal alignments. I know this is idealistic but at some point we have to start looking at things from a different perspective. This is way to controversial to be a school topic.

With huge vacancies in leadership within the hospital, why does it appear that there is such a disparity in the number of qualified minorities that are hired for these positions. You can often see the resumes of new leaders and their experience as a manager/leader. The new trend is leaders have 1-2 years of nursing experience and then assume the role as a manager or director. It has been my experience that hospitals will hire someone with less qualifications and experience then hire their minority counterpart who has the qualifications and experience. Please comment with your experiences and knowledge on the subject.

Who should attend the general assembly? Is it for all members or just the elected officials or people serving in cabinet roles?

This is the pilot version of the test so there is no formatted blueprint or prescribed guideline for the test. The best thing to review would be an ATLS, ENPC, or TNCC manual. Review the emergency nurse standards for trauma care and care after resuscitation.
