December 13, 2016 Janet Kennedy 00:37:59 0 Comments

Something very exciting is going on in the nursing community today. We’re seeing many nurses recognize their “inner entrepreneur” and start a small business both in and outside of healthcare. That’s where the NNBA comes in. The National Nurses in Business Association (NNBA) is a professional nursing association and springboard for nurses transitioning from traditional nursing to small business ownership and self-employment. Lead by CEO & President Michelle Podlesni, the NNBA is a membership organization offering resources, training and a robust community focused on helping nurses become business owners.

The Change of Shift Podcast- A Voice for Nursing

January 12, 2016 Janet Kennedy 00:43:20 1 Comment

My guest today on the Get Social Health podcast is Sean Dent. He’s an acute care Nurse Practitioner and the host of the Change of Shift podcast. He’s also one of the early social media adopters in the healthcare space giving a voice to nursing. The role of the nurse has many contradictions. On the one hand, it is the most respected profession in our nation based on a recent survey, however, when you hear and read what nurses are saying and printing online, it presents a story of frustration, of challenges, of lack of respect, and even danger. Let’s hear what he has to say on Get Social Health. Listen to the full podcast or drop in at the time stamps below:

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.
