Jessica Dillard-Wright and Vanessa Haas-Shields are cooking up another nursing activism think tank! They just announced the location and dates on the new website RadicalNurses.com! Here is what they posted:

Jessica

. . . sustained through our collaborative efforts here at radicalnurses.com, and emboldened by the power of sharing our ideas, we would like to announce our very own nurse activism think tank. We are calling it “Activism and the Art of Nursing” and we want you to join us. We know that nursing is an art. We know many of you are artists. We want to explore the idea of the art of nursing and the connections between art, activism, and nursing. So save the dates – July 13 and 14 in Augusta, Georgia – and sign up here

Promoting a Culture of Civility

October 30, 2018October 23, 2018 / Jane K. Dickinson / 2 Comments

Piri, Louisa, and I are conducting a study to learn more about experiences with incivility in nursing learning environments, as well as to identify strategies for promoting a culture of civility.

Please click here to learn more about who we are, how this study developed, and why we decided to pursue this topic.

We hope you will take 10-15 minutes to complete a 9-question survey, share your insights, and help nurses and future nurses learn in a culture of civility. This study is open to all nurses. You get to decide if you want to answer as a student or a faculty member. You don’t have to be either right now, just think back to when you were last in the classroom or clinical learning environment.

Click here to begin the survey.

Thank you, in advance, for helping nurses learn and grow, with a goal of making learning environments welcoming and respectful for all.
