    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.

    Mental health and well-being resources

    Johnson & Johnson is committed to providing mental health and well-being resources to help nurses better care for themselves so they can care for others.
