A few weeks back we held a #WeNurses tweetchat that explored blogging as a nurse (you can read it HERE) During the discussion it was suggested that the NHS's 70th Brithday (#NHS70) was a brilliant opportunity to get nurses, from all areas of nursing, blogging:

         

      

The suggestion was well recieved:

       

      

So we are pleased to announce #70nursebloggers and #70midwifebloggers is now a thing!! 

          

#70nursebloggers & #70midwifebloggers - getting involved:

The aim is to inspire 70 nurses / student nurses / midwives / student midwives to blog in order to raise profile of what nurses and midwives do and nurses & midwives blogging and to celebrate 70 years of the NHS 

The blog can be setting up a blog alone, or with some colleagues. It can be a guest blog on someone elses website. It can be a written blog, a video blog or an audio blog.  Blogs are welcome from existing bloggers or those new to blogging … but must be about some aspect of nursing or midwifery. 

When you have written your blog please post it and state something along the lines of:

  

“Here is my wonderful contribution to #70nursebloggers / #70midwifebloggers - INSERT LINK TO BLOG” 

    

We will then add you to the WeNurses or WeMidwives #70nursebloggers or #70midwifebloggers Twitter list

We also want to encorage those more seasoned bloggers amoungst you to share some of your blogging knowledge and expertise - below are some suggestions on how you could kindly support and encourage new bloggers: 

  • Write a blog on why nurses / midwives should blog
  • Write a blog on how to blog
  • Share existing blogs / resources on blogging
  • Look out for tweets for help via #70nursebloggers and #70midwifebloggers
  • Offer a space on your blog for guest bloggers
  • Offer to proof read / sanity check blogs  
  • Support and encourage all the new nurse bloggers 

We hope that #70nursebloggers & #70midwifebloggers will become a vibrant resource for nurses and midwives who blog or want to blog.

Here is all of that some handy infographics:

 Reading through some of the recent blog posts, Nurses face many setbacks with other commitments and workloads. However, they still find time to be inspiring professionals helping to care for the unwell and forgetting all the difficult personal problems they may suffer outside of work.#punc21
