Nurses Who Blog, or Bloggers that are Nurses?

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

A roundup of Nurses who Blog:

Joni, a new nurse blogger, writes at Nursetopia, about a nurse who sailed around the world with her family for seven years! Great story. Visit her blog, and welcome her to the online Nurse Blogger community.

Change of Shift” is up at Emergiblog-check out Kim’s hard work!

Nurse Keith at Digital Doorway discusses an ER visit.

Head Nurse writes about a single minded cardiologist.  In my specialty, we have a similar problem.  Nobody wants to “check down there” so let’s order a CT scan or US for that minor symptom rather than do a good ole pelvic….

More Nurse Blogs:

Lorry, at Correctional Nurse features the care of prisoners with cancer.  I have been seeing Lorry’s tweets @lorryshoenly  If you are in the correctional field of nursing or, thinking about it-follow her.

See Jane Nurse has Love-IV-bottle that and sell it!

Sean at My Strong Medicine warns about “toning shoes”.  I recently bought a pair, will let you know the results of my study of “one”.

JParidisiRn writes about being comfortable with the squishy.  Interesting…. And thanks for the thank-you post.  I appreciate your being a reader/supporter!

At Your Cervix writes about the C-section rate, continually climbing.  I feel like a mastodon at times.  I stopped doing OB about 5 years ago now.  We actually tried to keep our rate as a department below 25%.  What a change in a short period of time.

Code Blog, discusses changes in perspectives.

Phil Baumann at Health is Social discusses social media, and health-care executives. Social media is here to stay.  The better the dialog, the more likely we can  enjoy the benefits.

Other Nurse Bloggers:

Obviously this is not a complete list of nurses who blog.  Alltop’s nursing list is a start.  Many of the nurse bloggers linked today, have extensive blogrolls.

And if you are a nurse blogger and are not on my nurse blogroll-make a comment, and I will add you.

Post-script:

As most of you know, I am not a nurse, though I did stay at a Holid…… Nah, won’t finish that thought.  I am married to a nurse, who is now in Public Health, having done time in ER, Hospice, and Postpartum.  So, though I do belong to the evil Doctors rank, who are somewhere between dog poo, and a migraine on most nurses scale of respect-I try to treat the nurses in my daily life as I would like to be treated.
