“…For reasons that are not completely clear, non‐white individuals are between two and three times more likely to die from COVID (Bhatia, 2020). A higher proportion of all deaths among nurses has to date been reported in black, Asian and minority ethic (BAME) nurses (Braithwaite, 2020). This disparity was unclear at the beginning of the pandemic but became more obvious as in progressed through 2020.…”

This paper aims to highlight the issues faced by Black and Minoritized Nurses (BMN) and promote conversation to address them so that every nurse is treated with equity and fairness, irrespective of their background. Discrimination and its impacts on BMN are toxic to staff performance and job satisfaction. These impacts are detrimental to the National Health Service (NHS) workforce. Therefore, it is pertinent that we explore the first-hand experiences of BMN in healthcare services. Using a narrative review approach, we examined the literature published on the discrimination BMN experience within healthcare services in the United Kingdom (UK) and throughout the Global North. Using the inclusion and exclusion criteria, keywords, and Boolean operators, we searched the Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health (CINAHL), PubMed, and Scopus for relevant research published between 2012 and 2021. For research quality assurance, we used the reporting guideline, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The findings reveal that BMN recounted their experiences, which centered on bullying, discrimination, and exclusion, as well as unconscious bias, leading to feelings of isolation, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, and mental health challenges as a result. We conclude that discrimination of any kind should not be tolerated. However, rather than promoting a blame culture, all people in healthcare environments should be supported in abolishing the issues BMN faces. This review has revealed the problems faced by BMN in their workplaces and recommended ways to abolish them. There should be zero tolerance for discrimination, and reported cases should be swiftly dealt with.
