LinkedIn is an incredible professional resource. Every nurse should create and maintain a profile to connect, network, and stay current with their resume. Use a quality headshot and write out a professional summary to introduce yourself to others. You can add connections with colleagues, former classmates and professors, and people that you know in your personal life.

Even if you aren’t job hunting at the moment, having this profile set up is an excellent way to engage in professional networking. If you haven’t created your LinkedIn page, it’s not too late to create it today. It could be the key to finding a new nursing job, volunteer opportunities, and much more.
