In the realm of healthcare, nurses play a pivotal role in providing compassionate care and support to patients. However, beneath the surface of this noble profession lies a pressing issue that demands attention and action - Racism in Nursing. To address this critical topic, we are thrilled to announce the launch of a groundbreaking campaign and event that aims to shed light on the challenges faced by nurses of diverse backgrounds and initiate meaningful discussions on combating racism within the nursing community.
Why should Racism in Nursing be a Concern?
Inequality in Healthcare : Racism in nursing contributes to disparities in healthcare delivery, affecting patient outcomes and undermining the essence of equitable medical treatment.
Impact on Nurses : Nurses facing discrimination may experience heightened stress, burnout, and emotional distress, impacting their well-being and performance. This inevitably affects their personal lives and economic status.
Professional Environment : A discriminatory work environment hinders collaboration, teamwork, and overall job satisfaction among nursing professionals.
Event Highlights:
1. Insightful Cinematic Conversation:
A historical perspective and thought provoking account through film will engage students, educators, scholars and researchers to delve into the roots of racism in nursing, its implications, and strategies for fostering an inclusive work environment.
2. Digital Exhibits:
Participants will have the opportunity to experience engaging digital exhibits designed to enhance cultural competence, promote intellectual character, and build resilience against racism in healthcare settings.
