Courageous Leadership: Nurse Educators Charting the Path to Achieve Health Equity
Wednesday, April 6, 2022
8:15 am - 3:30 pm
The 2020-2030 Future of Nursing Report: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity calls for nurses to take more definitive action on eliminating systemic racism. Preparing nurses to meet this challenge requires a rapid evolution in nursing education. While nurse educators may want to create teaching and learning environments that address systemic racism, factors such as lack of knowledge, inadequate preparation, fear, and discomfort are frequently cited as barriers. Through knowledge exchange, critical dialogue, and experiential learning activities, participants will have the opportunity to assess, apply, evaluate, and reflect on critical concepts. This workshop provides nurse educators an opportunity to examine themselves and their current teaching pedagogy and practices while exploring transformative shifts to advance health equity, inclusion, social justice.
Lunch included with registration.
Objectives:
Facilitator: Sandra Davis, PhD, DPM, ACNP-BC, FAANP, Deputy Director for the NLN/Walden University College of Nursing Institute for Social Determinants of Health and Social Change National League for Nursing
