About us examples for nurses
An About page has to answer one question fast: why you rather than the other three quotes. These are ten different answers to it.
Ten of them follow, written for nurses rather than filled in from a template. Your customer is a nurse manager, a credentialing office or a patient family checking who you are, and what they are weighing up before they get in touch is credentials that are out of date, or a specialty that is not the one they actually need.
Plain and direct
[Business name] is a nurse in [your area]. I work in bedside care, case management and care coordination. I am a registered nurse, and licence, certifications and specialties are stated with dates. If you want a nurse who states credentials precisely, so nobody has to ask, that is the whole pitch.
Use this if you want one paragraph that does the job and nothing more.
The origin story
[Business name] started because [founder name] kept meeting people who had been let down. What they described, over and over, was credentials that are out of date, or a specialty that is not the one they actually need. So I built the opposite. I am a registered nurse. RN licence current in this state, with the specialty certifications listed and dated. Tell me the unit and the shift pattern and I will say whether it fits. [Number] years on, most of my work still comes from people passing my name to someone else.
Use this if you started out because you were fed up with how the work was being done.
Names the worry first
Most people looking for a nurse are worried about the same thing: credentials that are out of date, or a specialty that is not the one they actually need. So here is how this works. Tell me the unit and the shift pattern and I will say whether it fits. I name the units and specialties I have worked. I keep continuing education current. I am a registered nurse. None of that should have to be taken on faith — ask, and I will show you.
Use this when people arrive already wary, usually because of a bad experience elsewhere.
Credentials first
[Business name] is licensed and certified. RN licence current in this state, with the specialty certifications listed and dated. I work in bedside care, case management and care coordination, mostly for a nurse manager, a credentialing office or a patient family checking who you are. I list my licence and certifications with dates. Qualifications are the floor rather than the pitch — but you should know they are there before anything else on this page matters.
Use this where the licence or registration is the thing people check before anything else.
Local and rooted
I am a nurse based in [your town], and [your town] is where I work. That matters more than it sounds. It means I know the streets, the buildings and the people you are talking about, it means you deal with the same person each time, and it means I am still here later. I work in bedside care, case management and care coordination. I am a registered nurse, and my reputation here is the only marketing I have ever needed.
Use this if you serve one area properly and that is your advantage over the national outfits.
Walks through the process
Here is what working with me looks like. You get in touch, and tell me the unit and the shift pattern and I will say whether it fits. I agree what is happening and what it costs, in writing, before anything begins. Then I do the work. I am a registered nurse. I keep continuing education current.
Use this if people hesitate because they do not know what happens after they get in touch.
The thing we do differently
Plenty of people will do bedside care and case management. What I am known for is credentials stated precisely, with dates, so nobody has to ask. It sounds like a small thing. It is the difference between a post that does what you hoped and one that does not. I am a registered nurse. I list my licence and certifications with dates.
Use this when you can name one specific standard you hold that your competitors do not.
Short
A nurse in [your town], licensed and certified. I work in bedside care, case management and care coordination. I list my licence and certifications with dates. Get in touch, or call first and ask anything you like.
Under sixty words — Use this when the About section is a sidebar, a footer, or a directory profile.
Small and deliberately so
It is me, not a team and not a call centre. You deal with the same person every time, which is why by the second post I already know what we are working with. I am a registered nurse, I work in bedside care, case management and care coordination, and I take on a limited number of clients so the standard does not slip.
Use this if being small and consistent is the point, rather than something to apologise for.
The promise
My promise is simple: I list my licence and certifications with dates, and if I get something wrong I put it right at my cost. I am a registered nurse. RN licence current in this state, with the specialty certifications listed and dated. I work in bedside care, case management and care coordination for a nurse manager, a credentialing office or a patient family checking who you are. Tell me the unit and the shift pattern and I will say whether it fits.
Use this if you are willing to put something in writing, and you actually honour it.
Writing for nurses: what actually matters
What should a nurse’s website say that a generic one does not?
Three things, in this order. That you are licensed and certified. That you understand the thing people are actually worried about, which for nurses is credentials that are out of date, or a specialty that is not the one they actually need. And what happens next: tell me the unit and the shift pattern and I will say whether it fits. Everything else on the page is decoration by comparison.
What does a nurse manager, a credentialing office or a patient family checking who you are check first?
The credential, then the proof. For nurses it sounds like this. I list my licence and certifications with dates. I name the units and specialties I have worked. I keep continuing education current. Put at least one of those above the fold rather than on a separate page nobody opens.
What is the most common mistake on a nurse’s website?
Writing about the business instead of the customer. "We have been established since 1998" answers a question nobody asked. "Tell me the unit and the shift pattern and I will say whether it fits" answers the one they are actually holding. If you only fix one thing, fix that.
How long should the copy be?
Shorter than you think, except where trust is being built. An About page of 120 well-chosen words beats 500 vague ones. The exception is anything explaining credentials that are out of date, or a specialty that is not the one they actually need — there, specifics earn their length.
