Nursing has long been romanticized as the domain of white women in crisp uniforms—a narrative polished by history but far from complete. Latinos in Nursing shatters that myth with clarity and force. This powerful anthology lifts the veil on a profession shaped by colonization, exclusion, and racialized systems that have sidelined Latino voices for far too long. But this isn’t just a critique—it’s a reclaiming. A declaration that Latinos have always been caregivers. Not new to the field, but foundational to it.Through unapologetic truths and bold storytelling, this book challenges us to look beyond the surface and see who’s really missing—and why. It calls in leaders, educators, and allies to not just speak about equity, but to build it. This is for every Latino nurse who’s been overlooked. Every student who’s been told they don’t belong. Every boy who never saw himself in scrubs. You’re not an exception. You’re essential. The future of nursing isn’t waiting. It’s rising—and it speaks our languages.
