Aiken, Lolita Chappel; Cervero, Ronald M.; Johnson-Bailey, Juanita
Adult Education Quarterly, v51 n4 p306-21 Aug 2001
Interviews with 10 black women enrolled in or graduated from baccalaureate nursing programs identified intrapersonal and cultural factors encouraging their participation. Hindrances were classified as the experience of being the "other" and the culture of racism. Findings show that individual and institutional racism is a barrier in registered nurse completion programs. (Contains 53 references.) (SK)
