Great Twitter Feeds to Follow for Nursing Jobs
Furthering your nursing education, whether by completing an RN to BSN program or earning a Master’s of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree, is a great start to pursuing a more exciting and fulfilling nursing career. To take full advantage of a higher education, use all the tools available in order to assure the best career options and opportunities are open to you.
In today’s highly technological and Internet-based world, using social media applications to market and seek out career options is becoming a popular and effective instrument that those “in the know” are using to get ahead in their field.
One of the most popular and powerful social media outlets available is Twitter. Twitter is not just a social website used to chat with friends and family. It is used by creative minds for a host of reasons, one of which is to advertise job openings and career opportunities. Fortunately for nurses, there are many Twitter “feeds” that they can follow which focus solely on nursing job opportunities and information.
Nursing Job Twitter Feeds
Location Specific
Twitter feeds can be very broad in information, very specific, or anywhere in between. This may make it difficult to really narrow down the feeds you need to look for. One way to hone in on a nursing job that will fit your specific needs is to focus on the employment location. Twitter has thousands of feeds that are specific to an individual state and sometimes specific cities as well.
Here are a few examples of nursing job Twitter feeds, by location, that you can follow:
- @nursejobsinNY (New York Nursing Jobs)
- @atl_hea_jobs (Atlanta Nursing Jobs)
- @ILNurseJobs (Illinois Nursing Jobs)
- @TexasNurseJobs (Texas Nursing Jobs)
- @NursesJobs (U.K. Nursing Jobs)
- @HealthJobsAUS (Australia Nursing Jobs)
When you log into Twitter, you can use the search feature to find location-based Twitter feeds for your local area. All of these feeds offer up to date job postings and information within their associated area. A lot of them will list jobs every hour or more frequently.
Traveling Nurses
Many nurses like the flexibility of travel assignments, and Twitter has feeds that cater to travel nurses. They offer traveling tips, job information, tips on how to secure a traveling nurse job, and of course, job postings. Here are a few to get you started. Remember that you may use the Twitter search feature to find more:
