Black registered nurses face bullying and discrimination daily, primarily from non-Black colleagues. We are constantly made to feel inferior, despite our skills and dedication. The pressure to work harder and prove ourselves more capable than our counterparts is relentless. This inequity not only undermines our confidence but also creates a toxic work environment, where our professionalism and competence are continually questioned. It’s time for this mistreatment to be addressed, so we can be recognized and respected for the valuable contributions we bring to healthcare.
