MONL Supports ANA's Racial Reckoning Statement
Posted about 3 years ago
Maryland Organization of Nurse Leaders (MONL) supports the American Nurses Association's (ANA) recent Racial Reckoning Statement and recognize our own need to continue to work towards supporting diversity, equity, and inclusivity in the field of nursing and amongst nurse leaders.
On June 11, 2022, the ANA Membership Assembly, the governing and official voting body of ANA, took historic action to begin a journey of racial reckoning by unanimously voting ‘yes’ to adopt the ANA Racial Reckoning Statement.
This statement is a meaningful first step for the association to acknowledge its own past actions that have negatively impacted nurses of color and perpetuated systemic racism.
