Programs

2 programs

Improving public understanding of the nursing profession by challenging negative stereotypes in the media and encouraging nurses to create positive media. Educate nurses the media and the public about current media treatments of nursing and ultimately work to increase public understanding of nursing. We create videos and add to our website and blog also in that same effort.

Expenses: $3K

When we see media treatment that is especially bad for the nursing profession we mobilize our members and the public to sign petitions and or write letters to those responsible in order to educate and encourage better media treatment and ultimately improve public health. We thank media creators who do a good job portraying nurses. We spearhead many letter-writing campaigns to convince those who create media to portray nursing more accurately. Thousands of signatures comments and or letters combined have been sent in these campaigns. The effect of these letters on those who receive them is not negligible regardless of the fact that we were not always able to see a positive visible effect in the short-term.
