Social media in nursing:

Social media and electronic communications have become part of contemporary life and as a consequence part of our professional lives as well. They have both benefits and concerns related to their use in professional health care practice.

Applying the National Board’s Social Media Policy (2014) review the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia’s (NMBA) Code of Ethics for Nurses in Australia (2008), Code of Professional Conduct for Nurses in Australia (2008) and the National Competency Standards for the registered nurse (2006).

In your review of these codes and standards, identify and discuss the Value statements, Conduct statements and Domains that apply to nursing practice using the scenario to illustrate your discussion. Refer to relevant literature to validate and substantiate your discussion. (800 words)

Leadership and social media

Outline and discuss a minimum of four transformational leadership strategies the NUM could apply to successfully ensure that nurses (and students) working in their ward are familiar with the National Board’s Social Media Policy and their responsibilities under the NMBA Codes and Standards for nurses in Australia. Use the scenario to illustrate your discussion and refer to relevant literature to substantiate your writing.

There is a word limit of 250 words per strategy.
