Nursing as a profession and discipline is poised to nurse the nation to move beyond the neutered conversations and polarization that has been manufactured to separate us.”

ABOUT THE FILM

START YOUR SHIFT

Like blood in our veins, racism pervades healthcare.

It pushes some people’s pain, voices, and bodies aside. It distorts care and kills people faster, but it continues to be an invisible risk factor.

Too many continue to deny or look past this reality — that this system meant to heal is causing harm. But some fearless nurses are saying it’s time to get to work.

Address human suffering. Advocate for the voiceless. This is where nursing began.

But to heal, it will take everyone standing up and speaking out. Health justice, after all, is everybody’s work.

"This weaving of nurse leaders’ experiences uplifts silenced histories, details our current conditions, and illuminates the need for sustained attention to power and collective accountability. This is a call to action for nurse leaders to operationalize healing and justice, a tender affirmation for those carrying this work, and a constellation for nursing students co-creating the future."

DIG DEEPER: ISSUES AND RESOURCES FOR ACTION

Nurses and patients of color are having a different experience in healthcare, in nursing school, and at the bedside than their white counterparts. Learn more about these issues and how to make a difference.

Biased nursing school cultures impede not only the academic success of nurses of color but also their well-being and psychological safety.

The values that nurses are meant to exemplify get lost in biased and discriminatory workplace cultures, threatening the integrity of the profession as we know it.

In the pursuit of racial healing, associations have had to reckon with their own pasts, uncovering contributions to nursing’s ills.

STAND UP & SPEAK OUT

It takes all of our voices to make a difference. #StartYourShift

Nurses of color have always been on the frontline of healthcare and social justice.

Yet despite their crucial contributions, they were told they “couldn’t intellectually handle” the profession they were already shaping.
