The Johnson
& Johnson Campaign for Nursing's Future has hosted gala
fund-raising events designed to celebrate nursing excellence
and raise money for student scholarships, nurse educator fellowships
and nursing school grants. The Promise of Nursing events have
been held in northern California, Dallas/Fort Worth, south
Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey
and Tennessee. More than $5 million has been raised to date
and more events are planned.
The NLN
Foundation for Nursing Education, an affiliate of National
League for Nursing (NLN), awarded scholarships in the fall
of 2003 to 25 nursing students who will pursue careers as
nurse educators. The Promise of Nursing Regional Faculty Scholarship
Program, which is supported by the fund-raising events sponsored
by Johnson & Johnson, is administered by the Foundation
of the National Student Nurses' Association. Both the National
League of Nursing and the National Student Nurses' Association
are Nurses for a Healthier Tomorrow members.
Applications
are being accepted for the 2004-2005 scholarship program cycle.
