Abstract
ABSTRACT
Nurse educators must prepare graduates who advance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across healthcare to decrease health disparities among diverse populations. Defining DEI and reflecting on personal implicit bias can help nurse educators intentionally integrate DEI throughout the nursing curriculum. This article explores DEI in the Bible and examines the Christian educator's role in promoting classroom diversity, providing equitable support for all students, and developing strategies for inclusive teaching. Addressing DEI from a biblical viewpoint can give nursing students the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to impact the well-being of all patients.
