“Caring with Courage” films & Nurse Innovation Toolkit

Nurses have the creativity, expertise, insights, and passion to drive meaningful change and transform the way care is delivered. In celebration of National Nurses Month, Johnson & Johnson has created a new toolkit for health system nursing teams to turn inspiring stories of nurse innovation into action.
  • With the Nurse Innovation Toolkit, nursing teams can better understand the power of innovation in their own practice and begin to see how small changes can lead to transformative improvements in patient care and workplace culture. The toolkit includes:

    • Three new inspirational "Caring with Courage" films produced for Johnson & Johnson by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions – watch now
    • A post-film discussion guide and reflection activity to drive engagement with teams – get the guide
    • A resources guide to nurse innovation opportunities supported by Johnson & Johnson – explore now
    In the film series, you'll meet three teams of extraordinary nurse innovators and participants in J&J’s nurse innovation programming, each working to improve healthcare in meaningful ways. From helping to fill critical gaps in maternal care in Ghana, supporting the transition of medically fragile children in New York, and building workplaces where nurses and patients can thrive in Virginia, each of these stories demonstrates the power of nurse-led innovation to transform healthcare.
