Thank you for the link to the National Commission’s Foundational Report on Racism in Nursing. Considering the history of the United States, it does not surprise me that the history of nursing also reflects the same history of racism. As we can see in the Report, despite the origin of goodwill and effort to help those in need, the field of nursing was still susceptible to the dark side of humanity. Education and communication are important to helping each other understand different cultures, perspectives, beliefs, and values. Both the person providing information and the one receiving information need to have an open mind and heart. I feel that disputes usually occur because someone has built a wall in that exchange of information.
