The Importance of Nurses in Healthcare – #HITsm Chat Topic

We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 10/12 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by Janet Kennedy (@getsocialhealth) and Carol Bush (@TheSocialNurse) from the Healthcare Marketing Network (@HMNwriters) on the topic of “The Importance of Nurses in Healthcare”.

In this #HITMC chat, Carol Bush (@TheSocialNurse) and Janet Kennedy (@GetSocialHealth) will lead a discussion on Nurse Leadership and how every part of healthcare needs nurses to be present and actively involved.
