Diversity.  It's a small word that means so much.  Diversity isn't just about gender or race; it encompasses so many other things.  Religion, age, and experiences are a few other factors that come to (my) mind.  It seems that there is a lot of talk about diversity in the workplace.  It makes me wonder who is talking about diversity just to sound good, and who is actually taking action. 

Nurses' Lounge - Chicago is focusing on diversity in our August issue.  We will examine who is talking the talk and walking the walk, so to speak.  An interesting perspective will be had from our article about bilingual nurses.  While some nurse employers have foreign language-speaking nurses on staff, there are also some employers who choose to use interpretor services.  I am curious to know the pros and cons of both, so if you have any feedback on this topic, please share it with me at shenning@nurseslounge.com.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Summer!
