Conversations are what sharpens a nurseโ€™s mind and rejuvenate the commitment of service to others. The road to becoming a certified nurse is demanding and calls for resilience and focus.
In this conversation, you will have an opportunity to interact with Margaret Anne Thompson, a retired Certified Nurse Anesthetist.
Having worked as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist for 38 years, Margaret has a wealth of knowledge in a range in critical care and anesthesia operations, including pediatrics, cardiovascular, neurology, orthopedics, eye surgery, neonatal surgery, general surgery, and ENT surgery. Margaret holds memberships in various associations, including; AANA, ASNA, NBNA, and WBNA.
In this conversation, Thompson will unveil some of the remarkable transformations in the field for nurses and healthcare workers.
We will also dive into the unique role Black and Brown nurses play in this field, some of the common challenges encountered, and the lessons learned as a key take-away for young practitioners. We will equally look at the perceived potential for the CRNA field in the near future. ๐Ÿฉบ

Have you witnessed someone being discriminated against based on their illness? Stigma greatly contributes to poor mental health outcomes as it makes it hard for people to seek treatment. Letโ€™s fight stigma by speaking out and educating anyone around you on the realities of mental illness. We all need to debunk all myths about mental illness and promote mental wellness.

WBNA promotes mental wellness and offers resources on how to deal with mental health patients and how to seek help. Check out the resources at https://wichitablacknurses.org/

Are we creating a stigmatized society? Are we making patients, colleagues, or even family members feel disgraced by their condition? Stigma is an injustice to the victim, you have made judgements before even considering their situation, and with the age of social media, it is often easy to throw negative comments. We continue to see negative attitudes or discrimination against people based on gender, race, religion, etc.
WBNA advocates for equality in access to quality healthcare and speaks out on racial inequalities in healthcare provision. Join WBNA today and partake in a worthy course at https://wichitablacknurses.org/. Ask yourself, What is your role in the promotion or eradication of stigma?

โ€ข We call out systematic racism and discrimination in the health care sector.
โ€ข More black nurses are taking up leadership roles in their unions.
โ€ข We provide mentorship and encouraging black Americans to enroll in nursing courses
