  2. Think Before You Post! Now that we have entered into the world of nursing, we are called to be professional, even in our private lives- this includes social media platforms. You represent the SDSU School of Nursing, as well as the future of the nursing profession!

  3. Common Social Media Platforms Facebook Instagram Twitter Linked In Snapchat Youtube Pinterest Tumblr Anyone can screenshot your snap chats/stories… There is really nothing fake about a “Finsta”

  4. What NOT to Post • Inappropriate Photos/Content • Drugs, Sex, Wild Partying • Offensive language • Rude comments, cyber bullying, insensitive language • Patient Information, violation of privacy & confidentiality • HIPAA: Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act • Inappropriate mention of hospitals, work conditions, clinical experiences • Personal Information • Phone number, address, location, vacation plans

  5. A Few Examples In 2014, a New York RN was fired for posting an insensitive photo of the Emergency Room on Instagram, although technically HIPAA was not violated Probably not what a future employer wants to see on your Facebook page

  6. Potential Consequences • Employers will search your profile • According to a recent Careerbuilder survey, “70 percent of employers are snooping candidates’ social media profiles” • Loss of current job/potential job offers • Violation of HIPAA can result in fines, and even jail time • One “silly” mistake could negatively affect your reputation in healthcare forever

  7. Social Media Do’s  • Google yourself • Clean up your profiles  Even if your posts are appropriate, you may be tagged in photos that you wish to be removed • Keep accounts on highest privacy settings • Have a professional profile picture and description • Promote your positive accomplishments • Create a professional Linked IN profile for networking purposes only- rather than using personal sites like Facebook

  8. Final Thoughts…What is YOUR positive image of Nursing going to be?
