Making connections with fellow nurses online is a great way to expand your professional network. However, taking those relationships offline is just as important. Having face to face meetings can help you develop friendships and bring nurses together. Whether you’ve connected on LinkedIn, Facebook, or on other platforms, there’s always the opportunity to get to know one another better in-person. Plan a meetup for nurses in your area. If there aren’t many networking opportunities around, take the initiative and start a local group. Connect with nurses not only online but in-person to build those relationships and grow your professional network.
