Traveling nurses consistently move across the country or around the world. This means that the days of writing a letter – or even drafting an email – are fading in the face of social media.
For traveling nurses seeking a little connectivity, industry-specific social media networks are available to attach their identity to. These online resources enable numerous traveling nurse professionals to share stories, experiences, industry news and bits of advice.
Instead of being one of 800 million on a popular social media site, a traveling nurse may join a set of tightly networked individuals already associated in the healthcare field and knowledgeable in the trials and triumphs of the industry.
A variety of traveling healthcare-specific social media networks are available. Membership may depend on job title and years in the industry or may even differentiate between academic or informal personal use of the site.
Networking between traveling nurses may provide professional opportunities and perhaps personal satisfaction. Social media grants a traveling nurse the opportunity to explore a potential new city or hospital with the help of a trusted connection without ever leaving the computer.
