“Nurses are on the front lines as the first point of contact
with patients and their families, offering a special combination of
medical expertise and care and compassion. I’ve been able to
witness the tremendous effect that nurses have on patients and
communities first-hand as the daughter of a nurse and as a mother,”
said Kristen Bell. “I’m proud of my mom for choosing a career in
nursing and thrilled to be partnering with Johnson & Johnson to
support nurses. Nursing allows you many fields and avenues to work
in.“
Kristen Bell is joining Johnson & Johnson to raise awareness
of the incredible value of nurses around National Nurses Week, and
issue an important call to action that asks everyone to support The
Foundation of the National Student Nurses’ Association, a
professional organization that is critical to the future of nursing
by helping to fund its operation through a variety of philanthropic
efforts. People can download the Johnson & Johnson Donate a
Photo app and for every photo shared through the app throughout the
entire month of May, Johnson & Johnson will donate $1 to
support nursing student scholarships through The Foundation of the
National Student Nurses’ Association.
“The United States has been experiencing the most profound
shortage of nurses in the country’s history. By 2025, it is
predicted that there will still be a shortage of over half a
million nurses, as new demands are put on the healthcare system
with the aging population,“ said Michael Sneed, Vice President,
Global Corporate Affairs Johnson & Johnson. “Since launching
the Johnson & Johnson Campaign for Nursing’s Future, more than
750,000 new nurses joined the field, but there’s more to be done,
and the collaboration of industry leaders like Johnson &
Johnson, healthcare professionals, education leaders and government
officials is critically important.”
