Nursing

The Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies has developed a nationwide campaign in support of the nursing profession. Johnson & Johnson is working with health care leaders and nursing organizations to bring more people into nursing, develop more nurse educators, and retain the talent already in the profession. As part of that campaign, Johnson & Johnson has created a Web site (www.discovernursing.com) that offers a wealth of information about the nursing market, scholarship and financial aid, the basics of becoming a nurse (programs, degrees, and certification), finding a nursing program in your area, and personal profiles of nurses.
