It is no longer enough for nurses to be “not racist,” nor is it enough to just publish non-discrimination statements and proclaim a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. There can no longer be any question that, “We must face the epidemic of racism head-on by applying rigorous changes to nursing practice, research, and education, and, as is always true with our profession, do this with empathy and respect.” (Koschmann et al., 2020)
