Our commitment to nursing

For more than 125 years, Johnson & Johnson has been proud to advocate for, elevate, and empower the nursing profession, as we know that nurses are the backbone of health care.

Why be a nurse?

A career in nursing is one of the most exciting and rewarding occupations. Nurses provide vital hands-on patient care, but that’s not all they do. They are leaders, innovators, educators, change makers helping improve access to care.

Career advice and inspiration

When new ideas can save lives, nurse innovators need support to move from bedside to boardroom. Their firsthand experience helps them identify patient needs and shape the future of healthcare, as seen in stories from leaders inspiring the next generation.

Why specialize as a nurse?

Once you’re a Registered Nurse you can take your career in so many new directions by specializing in an area you really enjoy.

    More on our commitment to nursing

    Champion nursing as an innovative, high-impact, purpose-driven career

    Nurses are the backbone and heart of health care, and nursing has been recognized as the most trusted profession in a Gallup poll for over 20 years. Yet we know that the impact of nurses in health care remains undervalued, and the expertise of nurses is underutilized. That is why Johnson & Johnson is a passionate advocate for elevating awareness of the fundamental value of the nursing profession. See how we support and advocate for the value of the nursing profession with these resources.

    Equip nurses with leadership and innovation skills

    For healthcare to work, it takes nurses. Nursing burnout, turnover, and vacancy rates especially in acute care and hospital settings continue to be an issue for many health systems. Understanding what kind of work environment is important to nurses is the first step toward addressing the foundational issues that can cause them to leave. Through programs that focus on innovation and leadership skills, we can help support more nurse-led solutions that can transform health systems and create environments where nurses and patients can thrive.

    Connect nurses to clinical and educational resources

    Whether you are early in your career path and don’t know where to start, or ready to pick a nursing specialty or advance your career, there are several tools, resources, and on-demand programs that can help support you through your career journey while advancing your capabilities to deliver quality patient care.
