This issue of the Campaign Update spotlights another video about equity-minded nursing. As President of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses, Adrianna Nava, PhD, MPA, RN sees more nurses coming up who can bring a point of view to their work and workplaces that is sorely needed. That viewpoint is based on their own experiences in the same kinds of communities – often marginalized, often underserved – that their patients are from.

Application deadline: August 24.
