Nurses on Twitter: An Evolving List
As you all know, I’ve been searching for and following nurses on Twitter and as promised, I have come up with a list of everyone I’ve found. Bear in mind that this list is not specifically nurses, more like nurse-type people. I’d estimate that maybe half of the people on this list are nursing students, with a few EMTs sprinkled in.
So have fun with it! If you were previously on the fence about joining Twitter, you might want to use this list as a starting point. All you have to do is create an account, then click on any of these links and hit the “follow” button. (Trust me, people on Twitter love to be followed. It makes us feel special.) I’ve found that this is a really fun and welcoming community of nurses and nursing students.
There are also plenty of interesting and friendly doctors to follow. For a more definitive list of doctors who use Twitter, I would suggest trying this link at FriendFeed. As for myself, I follow a handful of docs including scanman, doctoranonymous, fatdoctor, ruraldoctoring, symtym, berci, rlbates, medpiano, and drval. Twitter is an excellent place to have an open, informal, interdisciplinary dialog, and it will be even better, once Twitter becomes more widely used. And trust me, it will.

Note: If you see yourself on this list and don’t want your Twitter name to be linked to, just let me know and I will remove it; and conversely, if you are a nurse who tweets and are not on this list, just leave your twitter name in the comment section and I will add it.

Thanks for posting this list. I just started twitting yesterday and am still trying to get the hang of it, so it’s nice to follow other health care people.
The http://twitter.com/johnodoodle link is dead, however (no such account).
Matt — August 19, 2008 @ 9:35 am
Thanks for the great list!!!
Now…if only there was a button that would add all of them to my twitter with one click

I would like my twitter name added to the list. Angelanurse is my twitter name.

Undergrad RN — August 19, 2008 @ 12:34 pm
I have been on Twitter since the start. It’s been a roller coaster ride for sure. I host over at Joyent where this was born, but there are only a few medical/nursing types around that group. Glad Beth has taken the time to bring us together. Feel free to follow me and I’ll do the same. I work in CVICU but am also a Master’s prepared Nursing Informaticist. I look forward to talking with you soon! http://twitter.com/KenBavier

Hi! I found your entry through philbaumann on Twitter. I’d like to be added to this list please. Thank you!

This is cool. A lot of us nurses out there. I love it. Couldn’t figure out what was going on with Twiiter and all of a sudden getting 10 followers. I’m even getting started in blogging. So far no post on it. Still in development stage.

Just chiming in with my thanks for pulling us all together! I’m already on your Twittering Nurses list, but would also love to make the “Nurses who Blog” list on Ox3 (if your list is open to nurses who don’t necessarily blog exclusively about nursing). Thanks again!

Thanks for the list, and the encouragement to start “tweeting”. I’m catching on slowly but surely. Probably wouldn’t have done so without the ever-so-nice nudge from you, Beth!
