The organizations look to enhance opportunities for Black nurses and advance health equity.
Wolters Kluwer Health today announced a new collaboration with the Black Nurse Collaborative, (BNC) to help remove barriers and improve diversity awareness across the nursing profession. The organizations will work together on several initiatives including events, publications, and nursing resources.
With a continued commitment to ensure all Wolters Kluwer Health resources have broader representation, the work with the BNC will have an immediate impact and create opportunities to ensure diverse, realistic representation of all people. For several years, Wolters Kluwer Health’s nursing group has been leveraging the work of a dedicated editorial advisory board which brings together nursing instructors, students, neurodiversity experts, DE&I-focused editors, and the American Nurses Association’s Scholar-in-Residence Addressing Racism in Nursing.
Moving forward, the Black Nurse Collaborative will equip these Wolters Kluwer initiatives with numerous subject matter experts to help ensure diverse authorship, reviewers, advisory board participation, and event speakers. The organizations plan to train and mentor individuals across the nursing industry to take on key career building opportunities such as submitting journal articles, speaking at events, and effective networking.
The Black Nurse Collaborative was founded with the purpose of bringing together nursing experts with varying skills and competencies to build and sustain a network that promotes professional growth and entrepreneurship, addresses health equity, and elevates the nursing community. The BNC aims to remove obstacles faced by Blck nurses and create tangible support for its members to advance and excel in the nursing profession.
“Working with Wolters Kluwer presents our members with unique opportunities for Black nurses to influence and participate in the development of some of the nursing industry’s most important resources,” said Meedie L. Bardonille, Founder & President, Black Nurse Collaborative, Inc. “Having the Wolters Kluwer team speak, attend and sponsor multiple scholarships at our annual event was tremendous and shows the commitment to this powerful collaboration moving forward.”
