American Nurses Association Racial Reckoning Statement
Date postedAugust 10, 2022
The Membership Assembly of the American Nurses Association has unanimously approved the Racial Reckoning Statement, which "sets the course for the association to embark on a continual process of not only reckoning with harmful practices and policies but also apologizing to, seeking reconciliation with and forgiveness from nurses of color, and healing of individual nurses and our profession." The effort is informed by the ANA's participation in the National Commission to Address Racism in Nursing.
