We're Just Getting Started

It's been a whole week since I posted my slide share on this blog about #nurseuk ... and I am truly amazed at how this concept is starting to develop.

#nurseuk has now been used by 12 people - now this may not sound alot but it's an amazing start and all within a week. Comments include :

• "There's many possibilities for nursing online; a vibrant social learning community for starters.."
• "Interesting take on nursing from a social media perspective"
• "Is social media the way forward 4 nurse communities? #nurseuk Yes 4 bth among nurses & patients"
• "#nurseuk is really good happy to promote"
• "I believe it can be a positive progress for nurses if they target social media aptly"
• "Implementation is key in preventing language barriers #nurseuk"
• "SM allows communication across different fields of medicine for improved research, practice, & patient care"

So with my blog is fast approaching 700 views and my slideshare http://www.slideshare.net/AgencyNurse on 268 views, it is evident that #nurseuk is creating a stir !! But we need more ..... so far the majority of the conversation on #nurseuk is about nurses using social media, but the topics of conversation are endless. 

The next step...

• start talking about #nurseuk to your friends, tweet about it, fb about it, email about it, text about it SHOUT ABOUT IT!!!! 
• start to share things that you find interesting
• ask questions if you need to know something
• listen out and respond to others

We have, albeit very small, a community ... lets get it thriving !!
