By: Eliany Torrez Pon (UCF) and Emily & Rosa from the Arkansa Nursing Student Association. •DACA recipients come from all over the world and must meet a number of criteria to work and study in the U.S., such as pass criminal background checks. • DACA increase racial and ethnic diversity in nursing which dedicated health disparities and promotes health equity for minority and undeserved populations •Over 20% (170,000) recipients are in the healthcare field •Research supports that these minority nurse scientists are playing a pivotal role in eliminating health disparities and are contributors to the growing leadership in nursing •DACA recipients will contribute to $460.3 billion dollars towards the U.S. economy; If the program is eliminated, this economic growth would be lost; and recipients contribute to building a stronger and safer community; and ass to the prepared and educated workforce Only 12 out of 51 States allow DACA Recipients to obtain their license in nursing. Our nation's healthcare depends on the care provided by nurses and other healthcare personnel with DACA status, who fill gaps in patient care, as well as provide fundamental relationships with patients. It is our DUTY to advocate for these individuals who have demonstrated their commitment to the United States by attending nursing school, training in the healthcare field, caring for patients, conducting research, and improving our healthcare system!
