For more than 125 years, Johnson & Johnson has been proud to advocate for, elevate and empower the nursing profession, as we know that nurses are the backbone and heart of healthcare. Today, I’m thrilled to announce two new development programs.
The Johnson & Johnson Nurse Innovation Fellowship Program (JJNIF) powered by Penn Nursing and the Wharton School, is a ground-breaking, one-year, team-based nursing fellowship for Chief Nursing Officers (CNO), nurse executives and senior nurse leaders, focused on advancing healthcare by powering-up nurse-led innovation and leadership within health systems. Johnson & Johnson’s sponsorship of the fellowship covers all attendance and travel costs for participants.
This fellowship, which runs from June 2023 through May 2024, is unique in that two senior nurse leaders from the same organization will participate and work together to address a real-world challenge their health system is facing. The fellowship will immerse participants in the innovation process by focusing on human-centered design and design thinking methodologies, and will teach fellows how to apply it to their specific challenge area. The innovation curriculum provided by Penn Nursing will be paired with business acumen, change management and strategic leadership skills development through Wharton Executive Education.
Participants will be selected by Penn Nursing through an online application process, and evidence of health system buy-in and support from the Chief Executive Officer will be required. Applications are currently open and close 3/31/23. Learn more about the fellowship and how to apply here.
In addition to the Innovation Fellowship, Johnson & Johnson Foundation is proud to support the Sigma Nurse Empowerment Program, intended for frontline nurses who wish to develop in their current role, or are interested in taking on new roles. The program offers a curated set of LinkedIn Learning and Sigma courses that address eight competencies: leadership development, effective communication skills, dealing with conflict, healthy work environments, diversity, change management, team science, and resilience. The Nurse Empowerment Program is offered free of charge to frontline nurses in the United States and Canada. Learn more and apply here through May 23, 2023.
I invite you to share these amazing opportunities within your nursing networks. We’re so excited to see the next wave of nurse leaders accelerating their knowledge and skills, and implementing transformative change in their organizations.
For healthcare to work, it takes nurses.
