This is a great interview. I'm from Ghana and migrated to the United states when I was 21. I just started my first job as a RN with a bachelor's degree and I understand all the struggles she's talking about from accent to having to prove that you belong in every place you find yourself.

Which Specialty track did she take for her MSN?

[@2sxe4u2handle]

are you the only black director of nursing in the united states??? because i’m really starting to think that you are. it’s so hard to find a black woman in a leadership position on the nursing world. and it’s such a shame

[@chinneynz7861]
