We’ll highlight them all through the fall via this newsletter and our social media channels. The first featured equity-minded nurse is Sadie Anderson, MSN, RN. She is president of the National Alaska Native American Indian Nurses Association. View her quick take on equity-minded nursing in the link below, or check out all nine videos.
Delaware patients now have increased access to safe, affordable anesthesia care, according to American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology. The state is the latest to opt out from federal regulations that require physician supervision of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs).
The American Nurses Association's director for the Center for Ethics and Human Rights said: “This position statement is long overdue, but very much necessary…. We are standing firm in our commitment to health equity, social justice, and breaking down the longstanding barriers, racist systems and structures that have historically barred nurses of color from advancing and realizing their true potential. This position statement provides the tools to empower nurses to practice emancipatory nursing – the active dismantling of systemic racism wherever nurses practice and replacing it with a just and equitable culture.”
