"Everybody’s Work" uncovers the pervasive issue of racism in healthcare, revealing its harmful effects on patients and nurses alike. Through the courageous stories of nurses and patients of color across the country, this documentary challenges the belief that racism only exists if personally experienced. It urges us to confront the reality that it impacts us all.
Nurses, as trusted healthcare leaders, have the power to dismantle racial biases and promote equitable care. By fostering inclusive practices and advocating for change, they can pave the way for a healthier future. But this film also serves as a rallying cry, reminding us that healing from racism in healthcare is a collective responsibility that transcends individual professions and identities. It's everybody's work.
SHIFT is a community for nurses to listen, read, laugh, cry, think and talk about big issues — together. We believe in the power of community because we know that you (yes, YOU) can shape the future of nursing. But none of us can do it alone.
SHIFT is supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
