Discussion

starting a blog

I'm wondering if it might be worthwhile to start a nursing blog.

-how do you narrow down what you'd like to focus on in a blog?

-what do other nurses need/find helpful to read about?

-would you read a nursing blog that includes posts about things like self-care, hobbies, athletics, home life, etc or would you rather see just professionalism? What about politics (women's rights/feminism, GLBTQ issues, so on)?

-thanks for any feedback and opinions!

    With all due respect, nursecranberry, your idea sounds a bit like reinventing the wheel.

    There's just about everything here on this website a nurse could possibly want. If you're interested in an area you could call your own, you could start a club and focus on your area of nursing interest.

    When allnurses shut down for upgrades recently, I started my own blog. My reason was because I wanted to be able to artistically express myself with fewer restraints.

    I still spend more time on allnurses than I do my own site primarily due to inspiration, fellowship and feedback.

    Good luck, nursecranberry!

    The biggest problem with a nursing blog is that you are too restricted in what you can say. Even here under the pseudonym of Emergent (that's not my real name ?) I hesitate to share a lot of stuff for fear of being identified.

    If your employer found out about your blog, which they would, you would have to walk on eggshells.

    Did you have any luck with the blog? It's cheap and easy to set one up with WordPress.
