Systematic curriculum updates and educator supports to ensure up-to date knowledge and appropriate educator approaches are needed in classroom and clinical settings. The integration of equity-seeking processes at higher levels, e.g. for example, nursing standards of practice, was identified as essential to redress discrimination in education as well in everyday nursing practice. Lastly, a clearly defined reporting pathway was suggested to support students who have been subject to discrimination. Given this is one of the first investigations into student perspectives on redressing discrimination in nursing schools, additional research is needed to evoke meaningful change.
