Time for White Nurses to Stand Up

It is time for compassionate, caring, and loving nurses to stand up and stop tolerating the abuse of our black colleagues by racist, pretentious, power hungry, and miserable white nurses who cling to power as managers, charges, and preceptors. Report their actions to HR, call it out when we see it, and shame them into irrelevance.

    If this is happening in your workplace absolutely it shouldn’t be tolerated. Neither of my managers are white though so if that was an issue in my unit wouldn’t be able to point to them

    Agreed that this should not happen in any workplace. I can imagine that this abuse of power would be challenging to eradicate. Mostly when I witness my colleagues experiencing any sort of racial abuse, though, it is from patients and/or families. ? I have no problem dismissing visitors when they are being abusive, but I really don't know the best way to stand up for my coworkers when it is a patient who I obviously can't kick out of the hospital. I will set the limits and let them know the expectation for proper behavior, but sometimes they will still say awful things just to press people's buttons. Sorry for the diversion in topic; it's something I've been thinking about recently and I'm not sure how to be the most helpful or constructive about it.

    Once had a patient arrested for racial abuse when he called a doctor a "chink." Doctor was not Chinese he was Malaysian. Police took him away. Don't remember outcome.

    UK so different laws and it was an ED patient.
