Travel healthcare provides the professionals who work in the field the unique opportunity to visit medical facilities throughout the country. However, as you travel, it’s always nice to have a chance to sit down, take a deep breath, and brush up on what’s going on in the industry. We’ve searched through hundreds of professional blogs to bring you this list of the cream of the crop for therapy and nursing.
Nursing Blogs
There are scores of nursing blogs out there today, but a good nurse blog is hard to find. If you’re looking for one that has great material, frequent updates, and something that you can really take out of the experience, we recommend you start with the following:
Off The Charts (AJN)
Keep abreast of news, developments, and trends in the industry with the American Journal of Nursing’s blog. This blog takes on a highly professional tone, but is not above a little playfulness or the occasional “Game of Thrones” reference.
Code Blog – Tales Of A Nurse
This is the blog of Gina, an Intensive Care nurse with 14 years of experience. This blog provides a wealth of nursing anecdotes, interviews with leading professionals, and some thought-provoking discussions on the more challenging situations that nurses encounter on a daily basis.
Suzanne Gordon’s Blog
As an award-winning journalist and author/editor of 12 books, Suzanne Gordon writes about problem-solving the communication issues between doctors, nurses, and patients, with a focus on patient advocacy. This is a great read from a unique perspective, and is packed with current events and issues within the healthcare industry.
Physical Therapy Blog
Those working in PT are enjoying a field that is growing and evolving at astonishing rates these days — and that growth is reflected within a vibrant blogosphere. If you’re looking to get your feet with with some of the best personal and professional physical therapy blogs online, we recommend you starting with the following three:
PT Think Tank
This is a great resource for news and developments in the physical therapy field. Get up to date on new laws and information, and take a few minutes to recharge with some inspirational and upbeat posts that will remind you all about why you love your job.
Recovery Physical Therapy Blog
Filled with case studies and a broad spectrum of topics, this blog takes a serious, professional tone, with a focus on professional-sports-related injuries. This blog has lots of technical information packed in an easy-to-read (and enjoy) writing style, with a clean visual design.
Total Performance Physical Therapy
This is a lighter, more casual read for the experienced PT in this no-frills blog, but there is a lot of solid, well-written material to be found here. There’s lots of visual diagrams, and some excellent advice to be had in these posts.
Occupational Therapy Blogs
In the past, the OT presence online has been sparse. However, in the past couple years, new and excellent blogs on the topic have been launched, and are beginning to gain a footing online. We’ve hunted the cream of the crop down, so you don’t have to.
The Occupational Therapy Club
This fledgling blog has hit the blogosphere with a powerful presence, featuring ways to promote OT, inspiration, events, and a dash of humor and charisma to make it all enjoyable.
Autism And More
A team of occupational therapists joins forces and shares their knowledge to bring support and the power of information to the teachers and parents of children with special needs. A well organized blog with many useful images, and graphics, and excellent writing.
OT’s With Apps
Frequently updated, this blog focuses on apps and resources for occupational therapists who work with children and adults. The blog sports many “screen shots” of the apps in action, and lots of news from the OT field.
