Abstract
The nursing profession is at a pivotal place in its history, in the United States
and the world. The nursing profession is being asked to address diversity, equity,
inclusion, and abilities in a meaningful way. Societal forces coupled with the report
by the National Commission to Address Racism in Nursing are requiring action to address
organizational spaces and work environments. In a survey conducted by the National
Commission to Address Racism in Nursing, 70% of black nurses said they experienced
racism at the hands of a leader. Additional survey findings highlighted that 64% of
nurses surveyed, who challenged racism, saw no change.
