Instructions:

Post a brief introduction, including your name and background. A photo of yourself is welcome and optional. Then, let’s talk about social media, defined as online platforms and/or communication tools enabling people to interact with each other by sharing and/or consuming information. Along with email and cell phones, most of us are consumers of one or more of these communication tools as a means of social networking. Include the following:

  • Which social media platform(s) do you use?
  • Does your personal use of any of these communications have relevance to your professional life? Why or why not?
  • Are there any ethical considerations in using social media as a professional nurse? Explain. What about platforms where both people from your work (i.e., coworkers and clients) and outside of your work have access to your communications
  • Reference the ANA’s Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements in your post and replies.
