The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) has released a series of guidelines instructing nurses in proper use of social media. The NCSBN initially released a paper on the topic, which can be viewed on their website. There are now accompanying materials available free of charge, including a video and a pamphlet. The pamphlet can be ordered in printed form by emailing communications@ncsbn.org and can also be viewed online on NCSBN's website. The video can be viewed on YouTube and on the NCSBN website. The materials contain general advice to nurses for professional social media usage and also offer example scenarios.
Registered Nurse training has not typically included any sort of direction in the usage of social media in the past. The College Network supports NCSBN's efforts to increase transparency and ethical behavior in the burgeoning social media realm as it relates to nursing. Information obtained from a MarketWire press release posted to Market Watch.
