In 2011, African American nurses made up 12.6% of all nursing students enrolled in graduate nursing programs at the master's level, up from 7% in 2002. That same year, doctoral degree programs in nursing had an enrollment population of 11.9% black nurses (The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, 2012). However, few minority nurses holding advanced degrees in nursing seek positions as nursing faculty members in schools of nursing. In 2009, all minority groups combined represented only 11.6% of nursing faculty within schools of nursing (AACN, 2010).
