From Academia to Social Media

One author published in the Journal of Pediatric Nursing is Patricia Gellasch. She wrote for one article titled "Developmental Screening in the Primary Care Setting: A Qualitative Integrated Review for Nurses".

Where could I find her?

I was able to find Patricia on Facebook,  LinkedIn, and Twitter.

What is she like on social media?

On LinkedIn, Patricia is formal and shares about all her experience as a nurse. She isn't brief and goes into depth about her career. I learned that she has her own nursing consulting company, has worked as a RN in several places, and has a log history of medical writing. 

On Facebook, Patricia is much more family oriented. She posts about her husband and three little boys, and chats with her family in the comments. She lives in New Jersey, so there are plenty of beach pictures with her family and friends. She shares a few nursing articles here and there, but it's primarily cute baby pictures. 

On Twitter, Patricia has never tweeted and has four followers. Same, Patricia.

Back to the article;

Patricia's LinkedIn follows the article pretty closely, since she emphasizes her professional life and the article involved extensive research and professional writing. Her Facebook full of silly baby pictures and fun family memories is a little different, but it makes sense to me. It's clear that she loves her kids and she is a pediatric nurse doing research on children with developmental delays. 

I can now say that I've desperately stalked about ten nurses on social medias.
