Writing For Ultimate Nurse

Posted in Uncategorized

Thank you for your interest in writing for UltimateNurse.Com!

I have to be honest I am a bit overwhelmed by the number of responses we have received so far.  We have had over 750 responses to date.  We are accepting submissions on just about any topic relative to the field of nursing however due to the sheer volume of responses to our inquiry we must limit the number of contributors.  Do not let this deter you however, and if you are not approved by our editor you are more than welcome to showcase your writing skills on our posting forums and reference them for future consideration.  Additionally, we will be looking to add more forum moderators in the next 30 days if you would be interested in one of those positions.

I have hired an editor to assist with the application process.  If your application is accepted we will be in contact with you as soon as possible, however please allow up to 4 weeks for us to process your submission.  It shouldn’t take that long, but there are only two of us to go through all of these submissions.

We aren’t looking for technical writers, in depth nursing theory, or blog type stories.  We are looking for simple, well written nursing content that is easy to read.  Experience and story type submissions may be accepted however stories that are more suited for message board posts than articles will be declined.  Please view this list of recent articles to get an idea of what we are looking for:

Negotiating a Travel Nursing Contract

Nurses don’t need to feel stuck

Is organization in your skills list?

The Nurse Practice Act

To qualify for payment for submitted articles you need to meet the following criteria.

  • You must be fluent in the English language.  I know this seems like a no brainer, but if you can’t use proper grammar we will not be able to accept your submissions.
  • Articles must be pre approved.  You will have the freedom to write on just about any nursing related topic that you choose however all articles must be approved before they are published.
  • Articles must be a minimum of 400 words and a maximum of  800, however there can be exceptions, especially for articles of more than 800 words.
  • Articles must be original content written by you and never before published.
  • All accepted articles become property of UltimateNurse.Com unless otherwise determined prior to submission.  If you want to retain the rights to your work I am sure that we can work something out but it will likely reflect in the payment per submission.
  • Articles with misspelled words or improper grammar will not be approved or payment will be adjusted accordingly.
  • Author must be willing to accept payment via paypal for individual article submissions.  Otherwise, payment can be sent via other method once the writer has written a minimum of 5 accepted and published articles.  It only takes about two minutes to setup a paypal account and the account can be verified and connected to your bank account if you so choose.  If you do not have a paypal account and would rather not get one payment by check is not a problem however you will have to agree to withold payment until you have accrued more than the minimum amount of compensation of 150 dollars by check.  That’s simply because it’s a pain in the rear to send a check out after every individual article submission we receive.
  • No more than one submissions per week will be accepted from any one author unless agreed to prior to the submission process.
  • You must be willing to submit the proper form if required for tax and payment purposes.

We’re looking for people who enjoy writing and contributing to an online nursing community.  Your articles will be published on UltimateNurse.Com and visible to thousands of daily visitors.  If you’ve made it this far and are still interested in contributing or hearing more you simply need to fill out the form below:

You be added as a contributor and will receive a response with a login url, a username, and a password.   This will get you into the software and allow you to add your contribution.  It will be reviewed, and the article will be approved and payment of 30 dollars will be sent, or you will be contacted regarding the length, or quality of the article submission.

That’s it!

Thanks for your time and I look forward to working with you!
