For the past two years, AACN has been engaged in a national discussion with other members of the National Commission to Address Racism in nursing. The Commission published its foundational report on racism in nursing in May, 2022 and the dialogue continues. The work for now and for the future is to own, amplify, understand, and change how racism negatively impacts colleagues, patients, families, communities, and the healthcare system. This panel will provide insights into this important work and opportunity for continued dialogue.
