The Role of LGBTQ+ Student Organizations in Nursing Schools: Promoting Diversity and Inclusion
When nurses reflect on their patients’ demographic traits, they can provide culturally competent care that reduces health disparities and improves outcomes.
Diversity in nursing education means enrolling students from varied racial and ethnic backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, and cultural experiences. This inclusivity enhances students’ understanding of different life experiences and health conditions, which is vital for developing empathy and effectiveness in healthcare providers.

Delivering Addresses (and Access) to the Navajo Nation
PETER YEUNG
About five miles north of the Arizona border, drive straight along a sand-swept road as it snakes through brush-covered foothills, keep going beyond a row of barns with rusting reddish roofs, make a left after a gray boulder, and the road will eventually lead to a cul-de-sac lined by two dozen homes. This is Navajo Mountain, Utah.
The tiny Native American settlement is named after the sacred, 10,000-foot-high sandstone peak that dominates the craggy skyline. It has been inhabited for centuries. It is in one of the most remote parts of the Beehive State, and in turn, the entire continental United States.
“Everything on Navajo Mountain is scattered and isolated,” says Dalene Redhorse, who was born in the town of Mexican Waters, around 60 miles to the east. “There are many off-roads with just one house. It’s not like a city here. Everything takes time.”
Redhorse is one of two “addressing specialists” at the nonprofit Rural Utah Project who, since 2019, have been going door-to-door visiting every home in the western half of Utah’s San Juan County, which includes Navajo Mountain. Her goal: to connect off-the-grid residents with essential services that they have often been denied.
