Nursing Education 2.0: the Need for Social Media Policies for Schools of Nursing (Teaching with Technology / Emerging Technology‪)‬

ONE ISSUE DISCUSSED AT THE MASSIVE HEALTHCARE INFORMATION AND SYSTEMS SOCIETY ANNUAL MEETING IN FEBRUARY WAS THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN HEALTH CARE. A funny video introduced at the meeting, starring Phil Baumann, RN, is titled "LOL - Hospital Social Media and Lack of Social Media Policy." I suggest you check it out. It is online at http://heahhissocial.com/heahhcare-social-media/hospital-social- mediapolicy/. About a week after the conference, I received the latest issue of Educause Review, with an article on the need for student social media policies. Given this convergence and with the "placenta incident" fresh on my mind, it seemed clear that it is time to learn more about social media policies.
