Advocating for the Fundamental Value of the Nursing Profession

Nurses are the backbone and heart of health care, and nursing has been recognized as the most trusted profession in a Gallup poll for 20 years in a row. 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, by elevating and championing nurses’ impact, and educating healthcare leaders on the barriers that need to be addressed to help unleash the value of the profession. See how we support, advocate for and advance the value of the nursing profession with these resources.
