Support The Truth About Nursing Today!

Registered Nurses are the critical front-line caregivers in health care today. For millions of people worldwide, nurses are the difference between life and death, self-sufficiency and dependency, hope and despair. Yet a lack of true appreciation for nursing has contributed to a shortage that is one of our most urgent public health crises. The nursing shortage has claimed countless lives and threatens to overwhelm the world's health systems. It is no exaggeration to say that our future depends on a better understanding of nursing. We need your help to change the way society thinks about nursing.

The Truth About Nursing is an international non-profit working to help nurses meet that challenge. We tell the media and the public what nurses really do. We analyze the media's treatment of nurses and organize them to respond, helping nurses stand together to end harmful depictions and encourage good ones. Better public understanding of nursing will lead to more social, political and financial support for the profession. That will relieve the nursing shortage and improve the health of all.

The Truth About Nursing is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The IRS considers contributions to be charitable, and they are tax-deductible as allowed by law. Please select a member level below:
