SUMMARY:Documentary Screening - SHIFT Films - Everybody's Work: Healing What Hurts Us All
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n Join IASN for an exclusive documentary screening of SHIFT Films\,  Everybody’s Work – Healing What Hurts Us all on March 20th. \n“Everybody’s Work” uncovers the pervasive issue of racism in healthcare\, revealing its harmful effects on patients and nurses alike. Through the courageous stories of nurses and patients of color across the country\, this documentary challenges the belief that racism only exists if personally experienced. It urges us to confront the reality that it impacts us all. \nNurses\, as trusted healthcare leaders\, have the power to dismantle racial biases and promote equitable care. By fostering inclusive practices and advocating for change\, they can pave the way for a healthier future. But this film also serves as a rallying cry\, reminding us that healing from racism in healthcare is a collective responsibility that transcends individual professions and identities. It’s everybody’s work. \n1.5 CEUs available upon completion. \nWatch the film trailer below. \n \nRegistration is required to join the screening.

SUMMARY:IASN Book Club
DESCRIPTION:IASN Virtual Book Club – October Edition\nJoin us for the next session of the IASN Virtual Book Club as we come together to read and reflect on Taking Care: The Story of Nursing and Its Power to Change the World by Sarah DiGregorio. \nAbout the Book:\nNurses have always been vital to human existence. A nurse was likely there when you were born and a nurse might well be there when you die. Familiar in hospitals and doctors’ offices\, these dedicated health professionals can also be found in schools\, prisons\, and people’s homes; at summer camps; on cruise ships\, and even at NASA. Yet despite being celebrated during the Covid-19 epidemic\, nurses are often undermined and undervalued in ways that reflect misogyny and racism\, and that extend to their working conditions—and affect the care available to everyone. But the potential power of nursing to create a healthier\, more just world endures. \nThe story of nursing is complicated. It is woven into war\, plague\, religion\, the economy\, and our individual lives in myriad ways. In Taking Care\, journalist Sarah DiGregorio chronicles the lives of nurses past and tells the stories of those today—caregivers at the vital intersection of health care and community who are actively changing the world\, often invisibly. An absorbing and empathetic work that combines storytelling with nuanced reporting\, Taking Care examines how we have always tried to care for each other—the incredible ways we have succeeded and the ways in which we have failed. Fascinating\, empowering and significant\, it is a call for change and a love letter to the nurses of yesterday\, today\, and tomorrow. \n📖 October Book Selection: Taking Care – The Story of Nursing and Its Power to Change the World by Sarah DiGregorio💻 Format: Virtual discussion via Zoom✨ Special Surprise: IASN has something exciting planned exclusively for participants—don’t miss it! \nWhether you’ve finished the book cover to cover or just want to join the conversation\, we welcome you to be part of this engaging and inspiring discussion.
