Blogs are everywhere. It seems that every industry has experts who share their knowledge, and the nursing field is no exception. You might notice not every blogger has the hands-on experience that makes you really want to dive into their content. What if you started a nursing blog in 2019? This might be the best time for you to delve into the world of blogging, and here are some reasons why:
Blogging is a great platform to inspire.
A career in nursing is not about glamour or glitz but rather about helping others. On a daily basis, you save lives; that is one of the most inspiring jobs you can have. Your blog could be read by a young person, wanting to make a difference in the world, or it could be read by another nurse who was struggling with their own career motivation.
Blogging is a great way to network.
As you establish yourself as an authority in your field, your readers will learn to trust you as a credible source. This will create a sense of respect and leaders in the healthcare industry might start to ask for your expertise and even offer positions to you.
Blogging is a great method to teach.
If you attend a continuing education class or your facility starts using new software, blog about your knowledge. You’ll continue to establish yourself as a leader in the nursing field as well as helping others learn.
Blogging can open up a whole new world.
Your daily tasks can feel mundane, but you will have a new outlet for storytelling and sharing. Your readers and followers can offer support and humor. When you know others are going through the same struggles, it can help you feel less alone and know it’s possible to find new solutions and even some laughs along the way.
Blogging is a way to earn some extra income.
Depending on how often you blog and how connected you become to outside sources, it is possible to earn additional income on a monthly basis. Through ads, affiliate marketing and even sponsored posts, you can add some passive income to your earnings.
Blogs are a great way to express yourself.
You are in control of how often you post, what you say and even the platform you choose to broadcast; make it funny, make it real, make it a resource.
