At Johnson & Johnson, we believe that nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system, and our critical partners on the front lines of care. Nurse-led innovation has resulted in important healthcare advancements throughout history – and Johnson & Johnson is committed to helping nurses continue addressing patient needs through resources and opportunities like the J&J Nurses Innovate QuickFire Challenge.
That's why we've launched a new nursing website, where current and future nurses can learn more about a variety of nursing specialties directly from other nurses, find resources on different nursing degrees, identify opportunities for continued growth throughout a nursing career, and read a dynamic collection of nursing stories that elevate the power of innovation, diversity, and mentorship in the profession. This new website uniquely provides a one-stop shop for nurses to find resources to help inform and inspire their careers in healthcare.
In addition to bi-monthly Johnson & Johnson Notes on Nursing content, nursing.jnj.com provides a variety of features aimed at helping individuals invested in the nursing profession find inspiration and guidance as they plan their careers. Featured sections include a “Get Inspired” area, which highlights advice from experienced nurses – like Victoria, a medical-surgical telemetry nurse, or Thomas, a nurse anesthetist – in different fields and details what typical work shifts look like in each specialty; a “Why Specialize” tab that provides more information on specialization options and steps required for each, as well as a quiz to determine which specialty is right for you; and finally, a heat map identifying job opportunities in different states, and average wage ranges for registered nurses throughout the country.
Because each nursing career is unique, the Johnson & Johnson Nursing website experience can be highly personalized, allowing users to create a login and save favorite resources and information for later use. Many featured sections create a personalized experience and customized path based on user input, whether their focus is finding a new specialty, learning more about financial aid, exploring continuing education, or learning the first steps to take to become a nurse.
As part of the evolved direction for our Johnson & Johnson Nursing advocacy strategy, the new nursing website is connected to the Johnson & Johnson “To Change Health Together” website, which is dedicated to fulfilling our commitment to changing human health, and gives people a way to join us on that journey. Through key features – such as Donate A Photo, CaringCrowd®, and Wisdom by Kids – the website works to raise awareness of and provide aid to communities and causes around the world.
Supporting nurses has been at the heart of Johnson & Johnson dating back to 1897, from employment to platforms, partnerships, training, and scholarships. Through a new and improved website experience aimed at providing the latest resources to educate and encourage nurses everywhere, Johnson & Johnson continues to work toward empowering and enhancing the image of nurses as critical drivers of better health outcomes.
We’re excited to continue sharing inspirational stories from nurses like you! Submit your nursing story to be featured on the “Get Inspired” section of the new nursing site here.
