WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, AND OUR BLOG
"We are [still] using the same N95 masks until they fall apart." "Having been a nurse now for 17 years, I have felt the sting of racism at the hands of my coworkers and some patients. If the culture of racism is the 'norm' in society in general, it is not surprising that it will be seen in nursing." "Nurses have more power than we realize. It's time to seize more control of our practice!" "A deep understanding of historical trauma makes us formidable in the fight for health equity."
