#WeNurses - Thursday 10th January 2019 8pm (GMT Standard Time) What does the future hold for social media & nursing?

If you haven't joined in a tweet chat before it's very simple.    Here's a guide





 Chat Details

 

Hosted by WeNurses using #WeNurses

This chat is guest hosted by @AgencyNurse

Nurses have been using social media for quite sometime now .... my own journey started some 7 years ago and since then I have seen nurses go from being very reluctant to step into social media spaces to nurses innovating, creating and leading in social media.  But as we move from 2018 to 2019 it's perhaps time to reflect on where social media is taking us as nurses ... what does the future hold?


A few years ago I created this sketch note ... and i find myself wondering are we yet to unlock the potential of social media in nursing? Is there more we can do? 



For this, the first #WeNurses Tweetchat of 2019 we will take a look into the future and ask:


  • How has the use of social media by nurses changed over the last 5 years?
  • Where would you like to see the use of social media as nurses go in the next 5 years? 
  • What are the benefits to nurses and nursing to using social media? 
  • What is stopping us from unlocking the true potential of social media as nurses?
  • What can each of us do to ensure that more nurses are able to see the potential that social media offers to nursing?
  • How would YOU like social media to progress in nursing? What would be on your wish list?

 I would definitely say that finding and communication with influential nurses easier than ever! Not to mention keeping as up to date as possible with upcoming issues or celebrations!

 @WeNurses I dont know about the last 5 years, but I do know I am one who thought twitter was just for gossip, celebritry & political news feeds, until I was enlightened this year via #welearn. I now love it as a platform for learning & professional networking as a student nurse. #WeNurses

 @WeNurses What concerns me is some professional viewpoints; I have been told at Uni by visiting reps never to use your personal name/photo on digital media. I & my Uni agree it is better to simply remain professional and therefore you ahve nothing to hide or fear. #WeNurses

10 January 2019 20:12
 I have been thinking about this a lot - I think there is untapped potential in regards to supporting nurses to take care of their own health and wellbeing Also to use the nursing voice on social media for activism in nursing #wenurses https://twitter.com/wenurses/status/1083455939888533504

 1. Its increased significantly as social media use in general has, but I think it's starting to become increasingly recognised as a really useful tool for nursing, peer support, learning and continued professional development #WeNurses

 @WeNurses #WeNurses Q1 NHS Tweeters tend to fall into 2 groups in the main: 1 openly engage with all 2 insular, frown upon outsiders engaging Glad to report more are in group 1 and growing by the day nurses, in general, are more friendly, approachable, absolutely not arrogant https://t.co/LB04geyObO

@RosieESchofield
10 January 2019 20:19
 Completely agree Dionne. It levels out hierarchies too. As a student nurse I can find myself engaged in discussion with very experienced and senior nurses as well as my student peers in a way that was previously unheard of #wenurses https://twitter.com/DionneDaniel5/status/1083456922882256896

 It is also a great way to engage with our families = reminders to order repeat prescription over holiday time, sunscreen with certain meds, keeping hydrated in summer etc #wenurses

 @WeNurses We never had any social media when I was training, Facebook was just coming onto the scene and twitter was mostly celebrities and gossip. I would like to see it be mentioned more in universities. And then filter it out to nurses on the wards and communities. #wenurses

 @WeNurses I am seriously converted; tweetchats & daily tweets help me with my studies. Any nursing question I ask is instantly answered by tweeting nurses & students. Twitter has even linked me with a lecturer at a diff university to produce a journal article & research project! #Wenurses

 When I started my training we was told to ensure all social media was set to private. I understand keeping a professional appearance but I disagree that we were told to privatise social media instead of collaborating with others #wenurses @WeNurses https://twitter.com/nursingpunc18/status/1083456209469034497

 I’d like to see it as second nature in education curriculum and there not be a fear surrounding it. We are slowly getting there but only for those willing to do so, everyone should be encouraged.

 @KathEvans2 @AgencyNurse Be present at the important debates, stop fighting each other about who has or does what and demand a seat at the table. No policy or paper without us. It should be the norm for nurses to be clinical / Divisional leads and showcase the work of CNS's /ANP's #WeNurses
@nursingPUNC18
10 January 2019 20:25
 @WeNurses it is going in the right direction, collaboration, encouragement, networking, resources. I love the fact that #welearn for example enable and encourage nurses to collaborate via tweetchats and use this as a form of evidence for revalidation. Keep it relevant and live. #wenurses
@JessicaCummin
10 January 2019 20:25
 @WeNurses I also think with nursing there is a risk of us all blending into one body due to the strict infrastructure. Social media allows us to have a voice on our profession, express fields of interest & see the huge spectrum of people working within the field. #WeNurses

 @WeNurses The more people tweet, the more it reinforces / pushes the boundaries of how much nurses can share. It is a real fear I believe, there are so many factors we have to consider each time we press tweet. Even if there was an NMC guide to social media it would help! #WeNurses
