Some Canadian citizens in need of advice from healthcare professionals regarding parenting and pregnancy are taking advantage of a convenient, high-tech option: talk to a nurse on Facebook! Rather than having to schedule an appointment or face the possibility of finding out of date or incorrect information online through other sources, people using this option can rest assured they are receiving quality answers to important questions.
“Parents are using Facebook to share their pregnancy and parenting experiences with friends and family,” says Debbie Chang, Manager, Child Health at Peel Public Health. “The Parenting In Peel page gives these socially connected parents access to information they need, when they need it. They can post a question on the wall and it will be answered by a qualified nurse, all from the comfort of their computer.”
Chronicling advances in nursing and how nurses and patients connect is one area of focus for The College Network on our nursing blog. The Facebook page appears at http://www.facebook.com/parentinginpeel. This information came from a press release.
