HHS thinks nurses are “too white”

They've got a plan to do something about that:

The Department of Health and Human Services will hand out over $20 million in “diversity” grants this year aimed at increasing the number of minority nurses, even as the Trump administration has sought to crack down on diversity, equity, and inclusion. The purpose of the initiative, known as the Nursing Workforce Diversity (NWP) Program, is to “increase nursing education opportunities for individuals who are from disadvantaged backgrounds (including racial and ethnic minorities underrepresented among registered nurses).” It is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration, an agency of HHS, and has distributed nearly $200 million in grants since 2008.

Thought so... must have been something already in motion, hope it gets stopped. Although I'm sure some judge will have an opinion.

They must not spend any time in medical facilities and hospitals in the NOLA and BR areas.

This has bad idea written all over it.
Anything involving medicine should be merit based rather than diversity simply because an inability to identify an issue can kill someone pretty damn quick.

I wonder if there could be a reason for that.

Great, just we need, more HBCU "qualified" workers

waste of money.

If these numbers include CNA's, that's bullshite.
My ex wife was a nurse in nursing homes 20 plus years and most of the CNA's were black. Same with hospitals.

Imagine having DEI nurses that act like DEI 911 phone operators, not responding to calls when alarms go off

I believe this program has been in place since 2008.
