This episode of NLN Nursing EDge Unscripted is hosted by Amber Young-Brice and features guests Taylor Pamperin, Maria Keegan, and Julie Radford. They discussed the increasing number of multilingual and English language learners in nursing programs and the challenges these learners face. The guests noted a lack of cohesive support systems for these students and highlighted the need for better data collection and more structured resources. They emphasized the importance of inclusive course design to support multilingual learners. The conversation called for a cultural shift in higher education, advocating for institutions to provide proactive support rather than expecting students to arrive fully prepared.
