Our Commitment
Nurses are the unsung heroes of healthcare. At every stage of life, in every area of care, they use their knowledge, creativity, innovation, and a healing touch to change the lives of patients, families, and the world.
At Johnson & Johnson, everything we do is about changing the trajectory of human health and well-being.
That’s at the heart of
Our Credo.
Which is why, for more than 120 years, we’ve been proud advocates for the nursing professionals who change and save lives, every day.
Johnson & Johnson Nursing Today
Giving nurses support and recognition is one of the most effective ways of empowering them as critical change-makers who are improving health for everyone, everywhere.
-
Championing nursing innovations that are profoundly changing human health.
-
Advocating for greater diversity and inclusion in the nursing workforce, to support culturally competent patient care.
-
Broadening the knowledge of the next generation of nurses and supporting their personal development, to prepare them for the demands of our evolving healthcare system.
Where it began. And what we’ve accomplished.
In 2002, a crisis loomed—by 2020, a projected shortage of 500,000 nurses in the US. So Johnson & Johnson launched the Campaign for Nursing to advocate for the nursing profession and inspire more people to pursue this rewarding career.
With scholarships, partnerships, media, and online resources, we’ve helped turn things around. The nursing workforce has grown by over a million, with projected growth of another million by 2030*. And nursing is now one of the fastest growing professions in the country.
