How did the NACGN contribute to the integration of the nursing profession?
The NACGN was instrumental in breaking down racial barriers within the nursing profession. Through persistent advocacy and strategic alliances, the organization helped to pave the way for the integration of nursing schools, hospitals, and professional organizations. The NACGN's efforts culminated in the eventual merger with the American Nurses Association (ANA) in 1951, which marked a significant step towards racial equality in nursing.
