Racism in nursing is a public health crisis. We help you uncover barriers so you can focus on solutions.

Discrimination impacts all aspects of life, including mental and physical health, career and employment, education, housing, and the justice system.

As nurses, we are obligated by our Code of Ethics to first address racism within our own profession, so that we may address the larger issue of racism in healthcare.
 
During early discovery, we found nurses encounter four main barriers to eradicating racism in nursing:

1. LACK OF SUSTAINABLE CONVERSATIONS

2. LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND CONFIDENCE AMONG REPORTING SYSTEMS

3. LACK OF AWARENESS AND UNIFIED STANDARDS AMONG DECISION-MAKERS

4. LACK OF DIVERSITY AMONG DECISION-MAKERS
