Unconscious bias refers to attitudes and beliefs about certain people or groups of people that affect understanding, decisions, and actions. Early-semester nursing students are perfectly positioned to learn about unconscious bias and strategies to mitigate it. In the podcast and article, Dr. Natasha Morris shares a simple exercise she developed for students to highlight these biases. During a post-clinical conference, students are presented with a scenario where the world is ending, and a shelter can accommodate only 7 individuals to survive. After students make their selections, they critically examine their decision-making processes.
