I’m a nurse on a pediatric unit and some patients families create and share photos/updates on public facebook groups. Does it violate HIPAA or any other nursing/BON expectations to “like” these pages? I’ve also seen coworkers who are facebook friends with patients and parents. It feels like a very blurred area. For example, if a parent took a picture of a nurse with the patient and shared it on the facebook page, is there anything wrong with that nurse sharing the post? I know the easiest solution is to avoid social media interaction altogether but there are some patients that I’ve bonded so much with and would like to be a part of their supporters

Awesome! What units?

@chrismykeCongrats!! What unit?

Anyone applying to peds units?

Hi @NewbieBSN, are you a Dec or May grad? Just curious because I graduate in May and was wondering if they are responding to May grad applications yet
