She's teaching the sociocultural issues class this quarter and while we haven't heard much about her minority recruitment efforts, she's often traveling and doing that kind of work, so I bet she would be a great source for info. Her faculty profile lists her as assistant dean of academic services and diversity (<a href="http://nurseweb.ucsf.edu/www/ffmartj.htm)" rel="nofollow">http://nurseweb.ucsf.edu/www/f...</a>.</p>MandyMon, 29 Oct 2007 01:47:09 -0000http://nursingzen.exobi.com/2007/10/18/mind-vs-body/#comment-6618293<p>We often discuss these two issues in my nursing classes. In fact, we are so frequently disturbed by the image of nurses as sex symbols, assistants, etc that we took a sorority's cartoon portrayal of a nurse from a blood drive poster and brought it to the attention of Student Life, who had approved the add. She was wearing high heels, cleavage showing, etc. We all want the way the public sees nurses to grow and change, we want them to recognize our profession as independent but interdependant on the rest of the healthcare team.</p>EdithSun, 21 Oct 2007 21:48:09 -0000
