These biases are amenable to intervention, and thus, these events are preventable. Health care institutions must choose to view racism as a preventable harm and address it with the same fervency devoted to other preventable harms that have been prioritized for decades. Prior attempts to address racism in health ...

Going Up!: Exploring the Phenomenon of the Glass Escalator in Nursing
The “glass escalator” refers to the structural advantage that males possess in female-dominated occupations that tend to enhance their careers. Males are less likely to enter female-dominated occupations, but when they do, they tend to rise faster and quicker to upper levels of leadership.

COVID-19: Perspectives From Frontline Critical Care Nurses in New York
New York City quickly became the epicenter of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) in early March of 2020.
