The American Nurses Association's National Commission to Address Racism in Nursing has released their foundational report, exploring how racism shows up in the nursing profession. The report series
- "centers the experiences of nurses of color in U.S. history and how structural and systemic racism have hindered access to educational and professional opportunities as well as institutional power,"
- "examines power, privilege, and prejudice in nursing today,"
- focuses on "creating equitable and inclusive learning environments [that] will lead to increased access and opportunities for students, faculty, and staff,"
- explores way to "eliminate racism in existing policy" and the need to create "new policies that address past harms and advance the nursing profession,"
- "explores the ethical obligations to develop a culture where all staff and patients are treated fairly," and
- explores how "minority nurse researchers are key to address health disparities and inequities."
