A nurse author can easily get busy fulfilling a variety of niches presently. There is a lot of scope for their writing and great demands for it in all its possible formats. Nurses writing works of fiction are able to add an element of realism to stories set in the health sector. Fiction writing includes novels as well as screenplays for television and cinema. However, most writers from the nursing professions are engaged in nonfiction genres.
Nurses who have a belief that they can let others benefit from the experience and insight should not be afraid of taking to writing. There are some who feel that their only calling is to care for the sick and needy and that lofty ideas such as writing should be left to the professionals. However, this is a faulty worldview that needs to be addressed.
Indeed, most qualified nurses are more than qualified to make it as writers. They will have had apple preparation while they were at college studying for the nursing qualifications. During this time they will have been required to write complex dissertations and essays that necessitated research and logical presentation of material. This is the basic bedrock of all good writing.
Secondly, caring for people takes on many forms. Primary care that most nurses are involved in is of crucial importance and a service that the whole of mankind depends on. However, you can also care for people by providing them information. Many people research issues about their health and look to qualified writers to provide that information. Also, you would not be a qualified practitioner if you had not read the works of others in your training. You may also want to contribute to the training of other nurses.
Ordinary people are always seeking information on certain key topics related to health. Some of these topics include conception and pregnancy through to childbirth and the care of babies and infants. As people are living longer, there is also more interest in staying healthy in old age and caring for elderly people.
In fact ever increasing amounts of people are regaining control of their own health concerns and delegating less and less to power to doctors in clinics and hospitals. Alternative medicine and natural health care are all subjects of great interest to the reading public and these are also areas that healthcare professionals are trusted to provide their expertise and insight.
Modern technology has meant that more people than ever before can get a readership for their writing. The internet has led to a boom in the demand for writing and nursing professionals who have become writers should certainly explore this new opportunity. Blogging can also provide useful residual incomes if done correctly.
No one is saying that getting published by the major publishing houses is an easy feat as a first time nurse author. You will have to be persistent if this is your aim. You can also consider self publishing. This offers more autonomy since you do not have to satisfy the dictates of a publishing house as to what is marketable and what is not. However, you must be prepared to handle your own publicity and marketing if book sales is a factor that is of concern to you.
