National Nursing Survey: Understanding Racism in Nursing
|
|
The Commission is requesting the participation of AACN member schools in a survey on racism in nursing in the workplace. Racism is defined as assaults on the human spirit in the form of biases, prejudices, and an ideology of superiority which persistently causes moral suffering and perpetuates injustices and inequities.
The purpose of this survey is to learn about your perceptions and lived experiences and to further understand the impact of racism on the nursing profession and patient outcomes. We encourage faculty to take this brief, confidential survey here. If you have any questions, contact the American Nurses Association at practice@ana.org.
Survey responses will be accepted through October 28, 2021.

Spotlight on the Practice Leadership Network
|
As a faculty practice leader, it is imperative to maintain clinical competency and relevancy to deliver high-quality education to students. If you are an administrator or engaged in faculty practice at your school of nursing, AACN's Practice Leadership Network (PLN) is worth exploring! When you join the PLN, not only will you share experiences in a national network of like-minded leaders, but you will also participate in conferences around specific subjects of interest, earn CEU credits, and serve on working groups.
