Become the Best Nurse Advocate for LGBTQ+ Populations
As a nurse, there are ways you can help advocate for this marginalized community on an individual level.
Understanding the Changing Face of Families
The changing face of families is a result of many societal shifts. These changes have all added to the evolution of the family. Diversity in our families, like the diversity of our communities, simply makes our world better.
Cultural Competence in Healthcare
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are a fundamental part of the Herzing Community.
Integrating Disabilities into the Diversity Conversation
There is no such thing as “normal” since everyone is unique. We can do the work to include and celebrate our differences and at Herzing, we’ve chosen to.
The LGBTQ+ community has always existed and has played a quiet role in history and is a force to be reckoned with both in and out of the workplace.
Semiotics and Cultural Competence
The symbols all around us provide a shorthand for understanding but we’ll never get to our truths unless we look past those symbols.
Understanding Microaggressions
You might think microaggressions have less impact on people than other types of discrimination but they do add up over time and can cause a tremendous amount of stress and mistrust.
Is changing for a group always a good thing? If we must change parts of ourselves to conform, is that being authentic?
Cultural Competence in Healthcare
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are a fundamental part of the Herzing Community.
Caring for Diverse Populations: Skin and Hair
Cultural competence and respect for diversity have always been important in the healthcare industry.
Keep Remembrance Day Close to Your Heart
Few topics evoke as much emotion or horrific memories as the Holocaust. In her latest T.R.U.E. Talk with Terri, “Day of Remembrance,” Diversity, Equity and Inclusion expert Terri Howard focused on the Holocaust and why we should never forget this horrific event.
Sharing Stories about Black History
While some stories and experiences may never grace the annals of any history book, that does not mitigate the importance of those narratives.
No one has a perfect understanding of different cultures, but that should not deter individuals from learning more about the world about them.
Celebrating Asian-American and Pacific Islander Culture
May is as a significant time for Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders to amplify their voices and share their cultural pride. However, May isn’t just a time for the AAPI community, but also a time for everyone to actively participate and educate themselves on AAPI history and culture.
Multi-Generational Workforce
For the first time in recent history, five generations are converging on the workforce at the same time. This diversity should be celebrated as an opportunity for people to be in a place where all can thrive!
