Nerdy Nurse Brittney Wilson Shares Social Media Tips to SimGHOSTS 2018 USA Attendees
Nerdy Nurse Brittney Wilson provided the EMS SimulationIQ plenary address this morning to the SimGHOSTS 2018 USA audience, speaking on the topic of social media, search engine optimization, and online marketing. As a BSN, RN Brittney was able to share these key insights from a healthcare perspective. She provided some valuable tips regarding the do’s and don’ts of creating an online presence. EMS SimulationIQ returned again as a SimGHOSTS USA Gold Sponsor, supporting the professional development of healthcare professionals operating healthcare simulation technologies.
Social media can be a useful tool for healthcare simulation programs looking to promote their programs and engage with the professional community. Are you looking to showcase your new building, latest equipment, successful grant, program launch, or starting students? By having an online presence your local community, your professional associations, and your global industry can learn more about what you are doing and support you and your program in achieving its goals. You never know who may be able to help you in unique ways. Having a social media presence also lets you learn from others which works especially well in simulation where there are so few programs around the world compared to other industries.
Some Social Media Tips from Brittney

- Know your employer’s social media policies so you know what you can and can’t do
- Don’t post anything you don’t want your boss to see because anyone can take a screenshot
- Nothing online is anonymous, and almost everything can get tracked back to you
- Decide whether you are using specific social media accounts for personal or professional sharing before starting
- Review what you’ve written or shared before publishing it, so that you are sharing exactly what you want
