Five.
Five CBNA members. Five medical school acceptances.
I had the privilege of serving as a reference and mentor for every single one of them.
This is why representation matters. This is why mentorship matters. This is why community matters.
The pipeline is working. 💙

According to the government of Canada, Black nurses are met with harsher treatment in the healthcare system than their white counterparts.
Let’s not even talk about the lack of representation in leadership and academia. Progress has been painstakingly slow.
