Abstract

While prior literature has established that nursing students experience racism, mental health stigma, and ableism within their programs, there is a dearth of knowledge of how students experience discrimination more broadly, across intersecting identities. This analysis draws on Crenshaw's intersectionality theory to conduct an intersectional analysis of cross-sectional survey data of nursing students' experiences of discrimination. Results illustrate that discrimination operates in complex ways across students' social locations, as experiences of intersecting impacts of racism, homophobia/transphobia, mental health stigma, religious discrimination, ableism, and other forms of discrimination. Such experiences further unfold across clinical, classroom, and policy contexts.
