This article describes the evaluation of a diversity-related video and its impact on clinical nurse educators. Our evaluation suggests that educators' knowledge, perceived skills, and confidence in creating a diversity-friendly learning environment were positively affected. Their awareness of their own biases did not improve significantly, thus suggesting the need for continued emphasis on self-assessment. The video was considered relevant and was supported by most educators, suggesting that similar videos may be an acceptable strategy for engaging them in diversity-related issues.
