• What should you expect from me when we collaborate on a content project?

    Clean Drafts 

    I value my clients’ time. 

    One way I accomplish this is by submitting the best possible drafts. 

    I can’t promise perfection, but here’s what I can promise: a clean, polished draft that has been meticulously inspected for proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. 

    Expect tone and voice that fits your brand, good sentence structure, and logical flow of ideas. 

    I don’t want you to have to spend any unnecessary time on edits that should have been submitted correctly the first time. 

    Clear, friendly communication 

    When we collaborate on a content project, you can expect all communication to be clear and friendly. 

    As a bedside RN, I always made my patients and their family members feel as comfortable and welcome as possible. 

    By putting myself in my patients’ shoes and imagining how it must feel to be in an unfamiliar setting, be either ill or injured, and be cared for by complete strangers, I recognized the value of one simple trait: kindness. 

    Something as simple as being friendly and kind to my patients would put them at ease and allow them to focus on what they needed most: recovery and healing. 

    When collaboration on a project is done in a friendly way, with each member respecting the other’s time, role, and expertise, I find the process flows more smoothly and everyone’s goals are met.

    Who doesn’t want that? 

    Content that is always delivered on time 

    I already mentioned that I respect my clients’ time.

    Here’s another way I do that: always submitting my content on time. 

    A deadline is a deadline, and I treat it that way. 

    Credentials that will boost your brand’s authority

    As an RN, I am able to anticipate questions your reader will have based on my lived experience answering hundreds of patient questions. 

    I know what jargon to avoid because I’ve seen the all-too-familiar look of confusion on my patient’s face when a medically complex term was used. 

    I have an insider’s perspective and knowledge of the healthcare system as it relates to your health content, allowing your credibility to shine.

  • Why have a nurse write your healthcare content? Part 2

    There are many talented writers who can create content. So why should you choose a nurse to write yours? 

    Nurses Are Compassionate 

    Strong nurse writers are driven by compassion. No other healthcare professional can interact with patients quite like a nurse.

    Healthcare providers are often too busy to explain information to the level a patient finds satisfactory.

    For example, in the hospital setting, a provider may round on a patient and provide a quick update. Later on, the patient may think of questions regarding his care that he did not consider while the provider was in the room. The attentive nurse will anticipate these questions and facilitate space and time for conversations to answer them.

    This develops a rapport with the patient and opens the door for meaningful conversations centered around the patient’s health and wellbeing. 

    Nurses understand what can happen if a patient does not receive clear education. If a patient misunderstands how much medication to take, the result could be catastrophic. If a patient doesn’t understand how and when to change a surgical dressing at home, there is a risk for infection.

    Some nurses have even seen hospitalizations occur due to a deficit in medical literacy. Providing clear education and ensuring understanding is a manifestation of compassionate care. 

    This compassionate voice carries into health content writing. Nurse writers know that writing clear, accurate health content is just as important as providing patient education in a hospital room. When a nurse writes your healthcare content, you can rest assured that your target audience will receive thorough, compassionate information, written by a healthcare professional who brings both clinical expertise and medical fluency.

    Nurses Are Educators

    Nurses bring unique skills to the realm of writing. Nursing isn’t just passing meds, changing dressings, or performing bed baths. All these tasks are fundamental to nursing, but they aren’t the foundation of what makes nurses strong medical writers. The key is that nurses are patient educators. This vital component is what makes nurses ideal writers.

    The medical world is complex and often confusing. Nurses are the ones bringing clarity and understanding to the world of difficult-to-pronounce medications, disease processes involving multiple organ systems, and equipment patients don’t recognize. Through thoughtful conversations, nurses engage with their patients and ensure meaningful understanding. 

    Patient education is often a process of translation. Healthcare professionals communicate in rapid-fire conversations that include medical jargon, abbreviations, and acronyms that may hardly even seem intelligible to the unfamiliar listener. Nurses take these conversations and explain them clearly to the patient.

    There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s different for each patient. What one patient might understand, another may not. It’s the nurse’s job to assess the learning needs of each patient and tailor the approach accordingly. This is why nurses know how to effectively communicate with a target audience

    This skill seamlessly weaves its way into healthcare writing. The many hours of explaining a disease process, the side effects of a medication, or the importance of physical activity hones an ingrained ability for nurses to communicate clearly with all types of audiences.

    By having a nurse write your healthcare content, you are tapping into this skill. You’ll have health content written by someone who understands how to make difficult subjects digestible to the reader. Your healthcare content will stand out from the rest when it is written by a nurse.
