Nurses were celebrated throughout the evening. J&J signature videos about nurses and their effects on patients were displayed on giant screens on either side of the stage, and others recounted their journeys to become nurses from the podium.
The “Promise of Nursing Video Challenge” featured poignant, often humorous, videos submitted by regional nurses that were judged by applause from the audience. The winning video was produced by the University of Maryland Medical Center’s radiology nurses.
As part of J&J’s Campaign for Nursing’s Future, the Maryland gala was one of many regional fundraising events, which have raised more than $16 million since 2002. The funds go to regional undergraduate student scholarships, faculty fellowships, and nursing school grants to help ease the nursing shortage.
