Using Social Justice to Teach Policy, Advocacy and Scholarship in a DNP Program

Likewise, although nursing as a profession has a commitment to social justice, this branch of ethics also often gets short shrift in nursing education. And, we know very little about the best way to teach it. Students also sometimes find ethical content too far removed from “real” nursing, not clinically focused enough, and social justice even farther removed.Find out more »
