Survey: Nurses highest users of social media for career development
Physicians, nurses, allied health professionals and pharmacists are using social media tools to network with professional colleagues, track down job leads and apply for new positions, according to a new survey.
The survey was conducted by AMN Healthcare, which bills itself as the nation's largest healthcare staffing and workforce solutions company. AMN Healthcare's "2010 Social Media Survey of Healthcare Professionals" was designed to provide healthcare employers and leaders a snapshot of how healthcare professionals are currently using social media and other online applications for networking, job hunting and other career development activities. The survey, which was conducted this fall, received 1,248 responses.

Top 25 iPhone Apps for Nurses
Are you a nurse who uses an iPhone? The iPhone is especially useful for nurses who are mobile, as this tool can help you stay in touch with medical teams and patients' needs. Additionally, many new apps have been developed for the iPhone that fit a nurse's lifestyle and professional requirements. Why carry 15 tools around with you when one will do the work for them all? Many of the iPhone apps listed below are not open source or free. And, many require wireless networks to operate. But, when you consider the cost of the tools you might need to simulate these apps, the app may be worth the investment.
The apps below are linked either to download sites or reviews with a link to the download site. They are listed in alphabetical order, a methodology that shows we don't favor one app over another.

 April being the first full month of spring, marks the beginning of new experiences and new transitions. April is also Celebrate Diversity Month. Diversity is understanding, appreciating, and ultimately managing differences and similarities at the same time. Its reach is all-inclusive and may represent categories such as class, race, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, physical disabilities, nationalities, political beliefs, and many other categories.
We at DiversityNursing.com encourage you to think of ways to celebrate diversity in your personal and professional lives. As a website devoted to diverse Nurses, we are building a community where you can participate in our Blog and share your ideas and experiences as well as explore Career opportunities and Schools of Nursing. As a way for us to celebrate diversity and give back to the community, we encourage you to register for our $5,000 Education Award http://www.diversitynursing.com/ before May 6, 2012!
