Episode 6-Teaching Health Equity in Nursing: Barriers that Exist and Promises that Await

In episode 5 of the Transform Nursing Podcast you will learn about Dr. Nicole Warren's work around social justice.  Dr. Nicole Warren is an Assistant Professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing and a Certified Nurse Midwife providing well woman gynecologic care at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. Warren has over fifteen years of combined research, clinical practice and teaching experience in women’s gynecological and obstetric health. Much of this work has focused on improving care for women affected by female genital cutting (FGC). She is an award-winning teacher and is increasingly focused on increasing students’ awareness of and desire to address the relationship between socioeconomic disparities and health outcomes, especially as they related to maternal health.  She conducts research in low, middle and high incomes settings with frontline maternal health care workers aimed at improving the quality of care and promoting the Universal Rights of Childbearing Women.

 

Takeaways from this Episode:

• There are health inequities that are similar in low resource and high resource settings based on vulnerable groups being disregarded in reproductive health.
• Focusing on clinical and technical skills obscures clinicians from focusing on the quality and culturally sensitive care.
• The challenges of teaching about race in nursing schools in deep, honest and authentic ways
• Methods we can use to move the conversation forward around race and health inequities for nursing schools.
