The concept of influencer in nursing literature is relatively new. As McCall (2019) remarks, due to the nature of their profession, nurses are being “influencers” every day when they teach their clients, recommend services, or advocate health.

At Work

Nurses spend considerable time with their clients who are constantly watching them. Their power of influencing is remarkable.

Example: Providing healthy eating tips to a post op bariatric patient.

In School

Nurse educators in academic or work settings have a great influence on their students or fellow nurses.

Example: A health educator in a specific field followed by students or coworkers can have a significant influence on followers’ career choices.

At Home

Nurses can be health promoters in any setting they find themselves in. Their professional reach and social responsibility is noteworthy.

Example: A nurses’ credibility and influence is noticeable in the circle of family and friends.
