“Social networking allows Rue to communicate directly with nursing students and educators while being able to learn from them as well,” said Director of Marketing Kerri Swift. “We each come into a discussion with unique and diverse ideas, and we learn by listening and sharing ideas.”

Rue uses Facebook to enlighten prospective and current nursing students about the company.  It also used Facebook to share Rue news, services, event updates, and articles on current trends in healthcare.
