This episode will focus on the issue of racism in nursing. Yes, there is racism in nursing, unfortunately. The host shares excerpt from a 2022 article by the American Nurses Association, titled, Racism within the Nursing Profession is a Substantial Program: "...nearly half [of respondents] reported that there is widespread racism in nursing, demonstrating a substantial problem within the profession...” Nursing remains one of the most rewarding professions in the history of mankind. Given the complexity of racism, this episode is only Part 1 of a three-part series. This episode introduces the listener to a form of racism, client-to-nurse. Part 2 and 3 will discuss nurse-to-nurse and institution-to-nurse, forms of racism in nursing.
I became a nurse in 2007 and have had stints in the emergency department, medical intensive care unit, neuro intensive care unit, coronary care unit, post anesthesia care unit, electrophysiology lab, flight nursing in the U.S. Air Force, and clinical nursing instructorship. I served as an FDA drug investigator for four years. I am U.S. Air Force combat veteran and am currently on active duty as a Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Public Health Service. My mission is to help nurses find their voice and thrive by providing helpful tips on matters ranging from resiliency to career advice on civilian and military nursing.
