The Benefits Of Hiring A Nurse Writer

Why hire a nurse writer?

There’s a clear connection between health content and a healthcare worker.

We’ll break it down below.

If you’ve read my blog post titled, What Is A Nurse Writer?, it gives a glimpse into a few of the benefits of hiring a nurse writer versus a generic freelance writer. But let’s talk details. What is it exactly about a nurse that makes us a quality writer? 

Healthcare Knowledge

Nurses know healthcare. No, this is not just medication names and dosages. We also focus on wellness care, how to prevent diseases, treating symptoms at home, and community resources for patients. We are involved in healthcare management and the (sometimes dreadful) ‘business side’ of healthcare. 

We can write with a background of knowledge in just about any health context. We bring to life complex medical terms, and specialize in converting these terms into easily digestible content. If your brand is relevant to health and wellness, it’s beneficial to have a writer that has experience in the subject matter.

Documentation Is Writing 

You know what else we know extensively? Writing. Only in our field its called documentation. 

Documentation is a form of writing. It could be noting the time CPR started, jotting down every inch of a patient’s skin exam, or translating a triage call. Documentation can be several things, but two things it always is: clear and concise. 

Clear- The intent of our writing is obvious. Whether it’s to inform, engage, or delight your target audience. There are no questions on intent with our writing. The reader knows the purpose and the actions needed to be taken. 

Concise- Just like in healthcare documentation, our writing is succinct and brief. We excel at including the most pertinent information and omitting unnecessary fluff. In this fast paced world, readers skim content. You don’t want wordy, irrelevant overflow of useless content.  

A Chosen Career

In addition, a nurse writer has chosen to leave a relatively ‘safe’ career to pursue their passion. There are no shortages of traditional nursing positions around the country. But nurses who choose to pivot their skills to becoming freelance writers, do so by choice. 

We are eager and passionate about our work, and aim to please our clients first and foremost. When you hire a nurse writer, you are not just getting any generic freelance writer. You are hiring a clinically educated expert, and a competent writer.
