When used wisely, within professional boundaries, it can be a boon for professionals; but it can also pose a threat. Before you become part of this ongoing viral storm, here are some social media do\u2019s and don\u2019ts to consider.<\/p>\n<h4>Do\u2019s for nurses:<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Privacy Settings:<\/strong> It is good to be active on social media, but making use of advanced privacy settings is highly recommended. Facebook, and other sites, allow you to restrict your audience. This allows you to decide which of your posts, pictures and status messages can be publically viewed. Nurses must thoroughly review what content they want visible to others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Professional Networking:<\/strong> Nurses can benefit from joining professional networking sites like LinkedIn to expand their professional network. This platform allows you to share your skills and experience with like-minded people. Nurses can join various forums to discuss or promote wellness in general. If you have a passion for writing, you can even start your own blog. On blogs, you can share the latest updates in the field of nursing, or the latest nursing trends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adhere to HIPA privacy laws &amp; policy:<\/strong> When using social networking sites, abide by employer policy. Obtain the hospital\u2019s or the corporation\u2019s social media policies and follow them religiously.<\/p>\n<h4>Don\u2019ts for nurses:<\/h4>\n<p>Don\u2019t share patient information or details on your profile, no matter how private you think your account is. This is a direct violation of the patient\u2019s rights, and interferes with your ethical obligation as a nursing professional.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t add patients to your social networking circle, irrespective of the bond you share. Also, by checking patients\u2019 social media profiles, you are invading their privacy. This act also borders on crossing ethical lines. As a nurse, you don\u2019t have the right to peek into any patient\u2019s personal life.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t use social media as a platform to share medical advice and tips, especially when it comes to strangers. When asked about a health issue refrain from answering it and recommend that the person consult a physician.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: Justify;\">Like everyone, nurses possess the right to voice their opinions and share their views on social media. However, make sure you don\u2019t step over any patient\u2019s right to privacy, even minutely, in the process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: Justify;\">If your desire is to be a professional nurse and if you are searching for the specialized courses, check out the <a title=\"Best Nursing Programs In Canada\" href=\"http:\/\/www.inscol.com\/india\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best nursing programs in Canada<\/a>, UK, USA, Australia and New Zealand offered by INSCOL.
