Abstract

Nurses know stigma impacts patients' ability to access health care, yet, stigma remains. Through findings from a Nursing Learning Needs Assessment conducted upon the legalization of cannabis in Canada, it is apparent nurses want to take responsibility for stigma and are looking for opportunities to reflect and engage differently.
