We all remember back in nursing school when we were told to stay current in our practice and were recommended to subscribe to some sort of nursing journal? Yes, doing so can still be very beneficial, but times have changed and there are now SO many alternative resources out there as well.
And by resources, I mean nurse influencers and bloggers. Through many of these personalities, you can find nursing education and lifestyle, wellness, and beauty tips. Some even have great nursing communities to share ideas and questions with. Here’s my list of the top 15 nurse bloggers that you should follow!
