- Abstract
The purpose of this research was to explore the lived experience of Black nursing students in a predominantly White university in a rural southeastern community. The research questions, asked utilizing a phenomenological approach, were: what is it like to be a black student in a predominantly white nursing program; in a predominantly white university? Black students currently enrolled in the undergraduate nursing program participated in audio taped face-to-face interviews. Emerging from the data were three themes and the synthesis of unity. The major implication continues to be for faculty to create caring learning environments where no student is disenfranchised. The data support Watson's Theory of Human Science and Human Care and Rogers' Science of Unitary Human Beings as the integrated theoretical framework for nursing curricula. Strategies are presented specific to situations shared by the participants.
