The CRNS is pleased to announce the release of the Anti-Racism Guideline, approved by CRNS Council on November 6, 2024.
The guideline defines individual and systemic racism experienced by Indigenous Peoples, people of color, visible minorities and co-workers. The guideline speaks to cultural humility and cultural safety and how RNs, NPs and RN(AAP)s practice cultural humility and provide culturally safe care to clients.
The guideline provides tools and strategies such as the CPR RACISM framework and the 4Ds Model of Intervention that RNs, NPs and RN(AAP)s can use to address racism in their workplace. Both provide actions that one can take when witnessing racist behaviors.
Taking action when racist behaviors happen can be difficult if skills in this area have not been developed. This video has been developed to provide ideas for developing skills and using the CPR RACISM framework in nursing practice.
