Racism in Nursing

Nurses Relations

Published

Does anyone feel like they are discriminated against because of their race? I feel like that most days at work. Favoritism given to nurses of a certain race. It is a big problem in nursing and one that nurses need to talk about. When nursing leadership discriminates based on your race, what can nurses do about it? We know it happens and we know it's against the law but why do so many still get away with it?

I used to think we had come SO FAR with respect to racism in our country. I have been strongly disillusioned to find that this isn't true. Age of the internet has brought me to some depressing conclusions.

There is "evidence based" reporting by respected news agencies that Russia has businesses whose job is to post inflammatory comments on any and every Internet site they can.

Their whole purpose is to cause trouble, stir things up, get people riled up, etc. I find it scary to think about since it is working so well!
