A 55-year-old woman with a history of Crohn’s disease presented after having multiple hernia surgeries. The patient explained that in 2018, she saw a surgeon at an outside hospital who offered her a robotic-assisted abdominal wall reconstruction.

Likewise, confronting racism that is decades in the making requires collective action. In the summer of 2022, the American Nurses Association (ANA) unanimously voted “yes” to adopt the ANA Racial Reckoning Statement.

When clinical nurses raise questions, whether it’s about patient safety, staffing, protocols or other topics, nursing leaders need to be attentive. But too often the perception is that leaders are too busy or distracted to listen carefully and respond thoughtfully. Or worse, clinical nurses feel as though leaders don’t want to hear their thoughts. “What we need to do as nurse leaders – and especially nurse managers – is be thankful for the people who are raising comments, asking questions, willi
