The Yoga Nurse Annette Tersigni

February 17, 2015 Janet Kennedy 00:35:59 0 Comments

It’s not often you’ll hear the expression “I felt a calling” when someone tells you why they became a medical practitioner. In the case of Annette Tersigni, it happened when she was in a yoga class for health professionals. After participating in a class with stressed out, overworked nurses, she realized she needed to share her knowledge of yoga with them – by becoming a nurse herself. At age 48 she attended nursing school and in 2005 launched The Yoga Nurse program.

What is Yoga Nursing? Yoga Nursing® is a new brand, trend & movement in health care, nursing and yoga created by Annette Tersigni, holistic RN, stress relief, back safety expert and medical yoga therapist. Yoga Nursing unites the ancient wisdom of yoga with the modern science of nursing. Its mission is to train and create a global army of modern nightingales, yoga nurses, who will learn and teach the Yoga Nursing Sacred Remedy— in order to enlighten the ailing health care system and relieve stress, anxiety, pain and suffering for both nurses and their patients.

Physician Venting to Physician Collaboration: SERMO Grows Up

January 6, 2015 Janet Kennedy 00:38:09 0 Comments

Social platforms, both closed and open, enable communication between patients, physicians, researchers, medical professionals, advertisers and marketers. As Community Director Christian Rubio shared with Get Social Health, sometimes all those voices can be a distraction. SERMO, the largest physician to physician closed platform offers something that is needed, anonymity. The 300,000+ members of SERMO may choose not to identify themselves so they can speak freely to their peers. Indeed, venting was one of the primary reasons for MDs to join SERMO in the early days of the platform. While politics, both internal and external are still discussed, the larger and more critical mission of SERMO has focused on the medicine. From advice sharing to mentoring young doctors, SERMO has hit it’s stride as a vibrant, growing medical community for physicians.

Healthcare Social Media Tips

December 30, 2014 Janet Kennedy 00:27:11 3 Comments

An end of year show calls for a “Greatest Hits” episode. Since all the Get Social Health guests were wonderful interviews, how could I pick a “best”? Therefore I decided to create a “Greatest Tips” episode and looked for some of the best social media tips from some of healthcare’s most experienced and insightful marketing and social media practitioners. Many thanks are due to my former guests for providing a social media tip after their interviews. Plus I would like to give a shout-out to all the attendees at various conferences who were patient and generous with their time when I approached with a microphone and said; “Give me a social media tip, quick!” with no time to prepare their thoughts.

I would also like to mention the conferences where I was able to collect a lot of social media tips, the Mayo Clinic Social Media Residency & Week and the Carolinas Healthcare Public Relations and Marketing winter meeting.

Below are most of the LinkedIn profiles for my “tipsters.” If I missed anyone, please let me know!
