Established
in 1965, the mission of the Breakthrough to Nursing (BTN) project is to
organize, represent, and mentor students preparing for initial licensure
as registered nurses, as well as those nurses enrolled in baccalaureate
completion programs, in becoming practitioners sensitive to the cultural
diversity that exists in our society. The project promotes the development
of the skills needed to be responsible, accountable members of the nursing
profession who respect the differences and similarities between people,
advocates high quality care, utilizing the principles of transcultural
nursing, and facilitates the development of peer support systems, which
enhance recruitment and retention within the nursing profession.
