Nurses thrive at Johns Hopkins because our autonomy is both respected and expected. Every unit is unique, governed not only by the complex needs of its patient population and even its geography, but by the nurses who work there and decide together on its policies, procedures and new directions.

What makes Hopkins such a fulfilling place to build your career is finding that each individual unit speaks the common language that forms this entire health care enterprise: patient care, teaching and research. Many of our best practices originate with a single nurse, like-minded colleagues and collaboration to see their concept through.
