Nursing Now Global Survey: Gender and Nursing

Nursing Now, in collaboration with the World Health Organization and International Council of Nurses, aims to raise the status and profile of nursing

Nursing Now has teamed up with Intrahealth International and Johnson & Johnson to conduct a survey of nurses worldwide to look at how gender is related to:

  • Perceptions of nurses, and of nurses in leadership positions
  • Nurses’ experience with discrimination and harassment
  • Challenges and barriers nurses face in moving into positions of leadership

Nursing Now welcomes and encourages all currently certified or formerly certified nurses, including nurse-midwives, to participate in this survey. 

Your answers will be confidential and your contribution will be incredibly valuable to their campaign to raise the status and profile of nursing and strengthen nursing leadership.

If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Samantha Rick, advocacy and policy officer for IntraHealth, at [email protected].
