Here is an opportunity to contribute to an important survey that looks at the impact of racism on nursing practice and patient outcomes. The National Commission to Address Racism is hoping for full participation from our nursing workforce, including school nurses!
Racism in Nursing October 2021
The National Commission to Address Racism in Nursing is requesting your participation 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.
The survey is brief and will take approximately 5 minutes to complete. Your participation in the survey is completely voluntary and your responses will be kept confidential.
This survey is available until 11:59 pm EST, October 28, 2021.
If you have any questions about this survey, or difficulty in accessing the site or completing the survey, please contact practice@ana.org.
Thank you. Please click below to complete the survey:
