Abstract
The advancement of minority nurses to executive and leadership positions, due to their firsthand knowledge to cultural health and lifestyle practices, could assist in ensuring a higher quality of care for an increasing minority population. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceived barriers to minority nurse representation in upper level management. Thematic areas were developed in the research questions to aid in understanding the perceived barriers. Research questions followed concepts derived from the conceptual framework established for this research. To adequately understand these barriers, a qualitative methodology with a purposive and snowball sampling approach was used to gather information from selected minority nurses in various health care facilities. Data was collected by utilizing a structured interview guide and interviews with minority nurses and minority nurse leaders. The findings of this study revealed key themes from four research questions. A majority nurse leadership, racial discrimination, and racial inequality were identified as barriers for minority nurses who seek upper level management positions. The importance of educational experience was recommended in recruiting and promoting minority nurses. Fairness and knowledge of organization were cited as factors in the retention of minority nurses in management. Further exploration of these factors may increase awareness, promote more dialogue, and challenge the nursing profession on the issue of diversity in nursing upper level management.
