💡Have you experienced confirmation? I mean true confirmation that the work you're doing matters? 👩🏾⚕️In 2019, my thesis paper to obtain my master's degree in nursing education talked about how to infuse cultural competence and diversity into nursing programs across the nation. 🔬Last night, I watched the documentary 'Everybody's Work: Healing What Hurts Us All' with DNPs of Color. The organization's annual conference is currently underway in Philadelphia, and they showed the documentary to kick off the three-day event. 🩺This documentary talked about the impact of racism within the field of nursing: the impact on patients, the profession, and most of all, the nurses who endure it. 📄We heard from nurses who are doing the work to bring implicit bias to the forefront. We got emotional as we heard our own stories within the documentary about being discouraged from pursuing continuing education because of prejudice. 🪶One quote I vividly remember was, 'Culture is our prevention.' ✅This is the reason why I do the work that I do. This is everyone's work to heal, and I am doing my part. I can't write everything here. A blog post is on the way for SURE, but this is confirmation that I'm not the only one passionate about this work. We are working together, and we will prevail! Want to make a difference? Start by educating yourself on implicit bias in healthcare. There are great resources available online. I have a short video about it posted in LinkedIn. Give it a watch 👉🏾https://lnkd.in/eGVAVqAi #NursingEquity #DiversityInHealthcare
