Continuing Education Opportunity: “Everybody’s Work: Healing What Hurts Us All”

The Commission to Address Racism in Nursing emphasizes that racism is a preventable harm—and that nurses play a vital role in identifying and stopping it wherever it occurs. To support this essential work, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has produced a powerful documentary that explores racism in nursing with honesty, courage, and hope.

Everybody’s Work: Healing What Hurts Us All follows fearless nurses as they share personal stories, examine the profound effects of bias on both patients and clinicians, and illuminate the urgent need for change. Featuring nurses who are confronting structural racism and leading transformative efforts within their organizations, Everybody’s Work offers insight, inspiration, and a call to action for the entire profession.

Thanks to support from RWJF, nurses who watch the full documentary and complete a brief evaluation will earn 1.25 contact hours. You will receive an email after you submit your responses that verifies that you’ve completed the nursing continuing professional development activity. If you have any questions or need help, please email mrush@healthcommedia.com

Join us in this meaningful learning experience—and in the collective effort to build a more equitable and inclusive future for nursing.
