    About this ebook

    Despite historical facts, today's nurses often resist the idea that healthcare providers and/or organizations perpetuate oppressive racial and socioeconomic practices contributing to disparity and discrimination in healthcare.

     

    Nurses are educated to value the individuality of the patient, which sometimes fails to address ethnic identity and racial powerlessness. Subsequently, the inherent power differential based on race becomes invisible because it excludes the individual's relationship to the larger community and thus excludes the individual's relationship to the collective history of their racial groups.

     

    Black nurses report feeling professionally invisible and experience an inexplicable inability to advance. Black nurses report sensing professionally invisible and experiencing an inexplicable inability to advance. 

     

    Increasing attrition among black nurses and student nurses in hospitals and academic settings is costly to affected individuals, organizations, and the profession. 

     

    Fewer black nurses advance to management positions and become professors with doctoral degrees. Therefore, black nursing students complain about fewer role models during their course of study.

    When you are done reading this book, you will have gained a lifetime of experience in just a few short hours. The stories are interesting to follow, and the challenging concepts have been made easy to understand. So get ready to broaden your horizons and adjust your expectations because you are in for one hell of a ride!

    Hi! I am a modern Mexican writer with very creative ideas; I have many experiences to tell and many stories to tell; I have had a life that has had too many ups and downs throughout my youth. Additionally, I am a very modern person, all the time, and I am reading, watching videos, series, movies of all kinds, and amazed at how wonderful technology is. I hope to see you reflected on all my knowledge and experiences throughout all my books. Soon I will be publishing more and more as time goes by. I have many finished works, but the details and final editions are missing.

      A DIFFERENT LOOK FROM THE WORLD

      We need to understand that racism is a thing

      When we talk about racism, we talk about a type of discrimination that occurs when a person or group of people feels hatred towards others because they have different characteristics or qualities, such as skin color, language, or place of birth.

      One of the most common causes of racist attitudes can be fear of what is different or of people who come from other countries due to ignorance or lack of information in this regard.

      There are several types of racism for which people may feel discriminated against or be victims of inequalities:

      ●  Aversive racism. It is a subtle type of racism because it is generally employed by people who are openly against racism and racist behavior. Aversive racism seeks equal rights and freedom for each group to live its own culture openly. Instead, racist attitudes are produced by distance from the other person, lack of empathy, or showing coldness.

      ●  Ethnocentric racism. This type of racism is based on the cultural superiority of the group itself, which is why it assumes that other different groups pose a cultural threat. In this type of racism, there is no right to equality. It is believed that people of a different race than their own must submit to the predominant group. The rejection of customs, beliefs, behaviors, religions, or languages ​​of other ethnic groups are recurring attitudes in this type of racism.

      ●  Symbolic racism. Symbolic racism supporters on the right to be equal, but with nuances: the right to be equal exists, but for precise areas or certain situations. An example that clarifies symbolic racism is the liberty that each group has to live as they want but in limited areas. These attitudes cause cultural segregation between the different groups, which produces a distancing between their associates.

      ●  Biological racism. It is the least accepting type of racism. It understands that one race is biologically superior to the others and threatens to decadent the race that is considered main. Biological racism does not consider that members of
