So you want to be published? Write something for theChat!
Last May, the Communications Initiative conducted a survey about how we can improve nursing communication. We asked for feedback about what you would like to read in our nursing blog, theChat. You responded:
- Educational opportunities
- Accomplishments of other nurses
- Personal stories
- Changes in practice
- Satisfaction scores
- What antics Sherry is up to (!)
- PNC discussions, senior nurse info
- Any new developments in the hospital
- Departmental news, committee updates
- Opportunities to learn and grow
- Community events that persons from AAMC are involved in
- More stories about improving patient care, evidence based nursing, and how nurses are impacting their community
- Local, state, and national news impacting nurses, health care, and medicine
- Real stories of how nurses have impacted patients and families
- Difficulties that nurses have and how they deal with them
We thank everyone for these great suggestions, now help us to share your stories. Writing an article for the blog counts as a publication for the clinical ladder — consider yourself “published” by contributing to theChat!
Ideas, articles, or questions can be forwarded to Chona Hamrock, RNC-NIC at mhamrock@aahs.org or Monica Mewshaw, RN at mmewshaw1@aahs.org. Our Communications Initiative can also be emailed at CommunicationsInitiative@aahs.org.
