We are NurseTRUST.

NurseTRUST is a 501(c)(3) membership organization created in 2017 by passionate alumni members of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Executive Nurse Fellows program.

NurseTRUST is a dynamic, multi-sector professional network that connects nurse leaders across the entire career spectrum—from emerging leaders to seasoned executives. Our membership fosters intimate relationships, creating a trusted community where leaders can engage in meaningful dialogue, collaborate, and grow.

Through our Fellowship program, we provide early-career and experienced nurses with unparalleled opportunities for mentorship, professional development, and leadership advancement. Our safe and supportive environment empowers risk-takers and innovators, ensuring they have the encouragement and resources to drive meaningful change in healthcare.

With timely and relevant programming, NurseTRUST serves as a platform for nurse leaders to amplify their voices, influence key conversations, and shape the future of nursing and healthcare leadership.
