SHIFT Nursing’s Post

Like blood in our veins, racism pervades healthcare. It pushes some people’s pain, voices, and bodies aside. It distorts care and kills people faster, but it continues to be an invisible risk factor. Too many continue to deny or look past this reality — that this system meant to heal is causing harm. But some fearless nurses are saying it’s time to get to work. Will you join them? From SHIFT Films: “Everybody’s Work: Healing What Hurts Us All.” 🎬 May 2024. #MyShiftMatters #EverybodysWork #EverybodysWorkFilm

Dr. Monica R. McLemore said it best — the work of ensuring equal and equitable care and treatment is everybody’s work. It’s on all of us to acknowledge and actively work to heal racism’s harms in healthcare, so everyone is treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. Ready to #StartYourShift?

Sixty years after the Civil Rights Act, we remember the Black nurses who fought for justice and equality. Pioneers like Mary Mahoney paved the way, even as they faced systemic barriers. Their legacy challenges us to continue advocating for a more equitable healthcare system. #EverybodysWork #EverybodysWorkFilm Katie Boston- Leary, PHD, MBA, MHA, RN, NEA-BC Lucinda Canty, PhD, CNM, FAAN, FACNM

Nurses and co-conspirators in health equity are saying “Everybody’s Work” is more than a documentary — it’s a rallying cry for health justice.

Care demands visibility. To properly care for a patient is to personalize care to who they are — even the parts that people “don’t see.” Meet Dr. Ernest J. Grant, whose nursing career spans 30 years. He knows that providing effective and equitable care means seeing and understanding the cultural nuances and histories of each patient, and to not see any part of a person prevents that. Learn from Dr. Grant and the rest of our fearless subjects in #EverybodysWorkFilm. Learn how to host a screening: https://lnkd.in/e_PQEMDZ #StartYourShift #EverybodysWork #MyShiftMatters

There is power in knowing your history, and that’s something that Lucinda Canty, PhD, CNM, FAAN, FACNM attests to personally and professionally. Learning that both her grandmother and great-grandmother were enslaved informs her work to address Black maternal health by giving Black women back the autonomy and control of their bodies that were lost. It is her ancestors’ stories that give her the strength to pursue her work for health justice.
