Review the responsibilities that RNs have when they witness acts of racism in a healthcare setting. Reflect on your ability to communicate effectively and assertively about difficult topics. On a scale of 0-10, determine how prepared you feel to talk to your colleagues about racist comments or actions. If you don't feel very confident, consider the following: What barriers to acting might exist for you? How do you think you can overcome these boundaries? If you feel confident, discuss how you gained or developed this confidence. What skills do you have? What helps or drives you to meet challenges such as this? What is your best advice for others?
