Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the National Black Nurses Association
For the last 50 years, the National Black Nurses Association (NBNA) has been advocating for the rights of black nurses and healthcare providers all over the country. Born out of the Civil Rights Era and the fight for equality, the NBNA brought providers together as they advocated for their place in the healthcare community. Advancing the rights and opportunities for black nurses was also important for advancing the well-being of the black community as a whole by making sure people of color had access to essential healthcare services.
At Scrubs Mag, we’re honored to be a partner with the NBNA. Learn more about the history of this organization and how it continues to stand up for communities of color.
