Episode 3-Nurses: Don't Wait to be Invited to the Table, Pull up a Chair!

 

Thanks for tuning into the Transform Nursing Podcast! I am Nikki Akparewa, the Creative Director of Transform Nursing and your host.  In my podcasts real nurses, have real conversations that cause real results.  I would like to introduce you to a trailblazer in the area of social media marketing, Amelia Roberts. Amelia, owner of Solutions by Amelia and Blogger at The Business of Nursing, reminds us that nurses need to see their voice as highly valuable and see themselves as entrepreneurs. 

Today’s topic is "Nurse's Don’t Wait be Invited to the Table, Pull up a Chair!!"  Amelia is a uniquely-experienced content strategist, marketing solution provider and business wellness fanatic and nurse.  

In this podcast you will learn:

• Myth’s that keep nurses in the dark on health systems change conversations
• Three actions you can take right now to overcome the fear of just diving in to marketing yourself
• How to stay relevant to the dynamic changes of our health care system

Takeaways from this Episode:

• You don't have to be unique or unusual to get started.  You do need to have passion. 

• You don't need permission, don’t wait! You will die holding your breath if you are waiting for someone to say "You’re a nurse? Come tell us your opinion."

• You don’t have to be “smart” but you do have to do the work of researching what you are passionate about so you speak about it intelligently and influentially.
