Today, we’ll be discussing a recent publication titled, “Examining Fundamental Nursing Textbooks for Inclusivity and Exclusivity Content: A Direct Qualitative Content Analysis.” This important work, co-authored by Professor Mombrun and her colleagues, explores a critical issue in nursing education that directly impacts student success and equity in academia.

Today we are speaking with Dr. Connie Montalbo. She is a prominent figure in healthcare and advocacy with diverse contributions to nursing leadership and community service. Dr. Montalbo is also a nursing executive and the founder and CEO of "End Incivility Today." Through her work, Dr. Montalbo focuses on addressing incivility in the nursing profession, providing strategies to foster respectful work environments, and enhancing patient safety and workplace culture.
