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.

Posted 19 Aug 2008 at 9:05 am ¶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).
Posted 19 Aug 2008 at 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
Posted 19 Aug 2008 at 10:00 am ¶I would like my twitter name added to the list. Angelanurse is my twitter name.
Posted 19 Aug 2008 at 10:17 am ¶What a list! Thanks for the mention.

Posted 19 Aug 2008 at 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

Posted 19 Aug 2008 at 11:17 pm ¶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.

Posted 20 Aug 2008 at 1:10 am ¶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!
Posted 20 Aug 2008 at 1:11 am ¶My twitter handle is “PMRN”
Posted 20 Aug 2008 at 5:20 pm ¶I’m a student nurse/fledgling blogger who is trying to tweet/blog more once school starts.

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!

Posted 24 Feb 2009 at 7:55 pm ¶my twitter and ginx id is ocdgirl2000 please add me to the list. I would invite all of you to join Ginx but I don’t know where they hid the invitation function on the site. It’s a different view of twitter and it’s got “group follows”. Interesting concept. Apparently I was lucky by just following ginx they sent out a random number to get you a fast invite, then they closed it up.I think I just grabbed the opportunity and ran with it!LOL!
Posted 24 Feb 2009 at 8:14 pm ¶add me to your list
