Social media & nursing Tweetchat 4: Exploring the impact that social media is having on nurses & nursing - the challenges & solutions 

Over the month of May WeNurses will be exploring social media and nursing.  We want start to understand the relationship that nurses and nursing has with social media and the impact that this is having so throughout May we will be holding tweetchats, sharing blogs, infographics and podcasts and running polls to really scrutinise where social media and nursing is.

We want to consider two main areas:

The impact that nurses & nursing are having on social media 

And 

The impact that social media is having on nurses & nursing

In each of these areas we want to explore  the positive impact but also explore the challenges we have faced and how we have overcome them.

This tweetchat will be exploring the impact that social media is having on nurses & nursing – the challenges and solutions and aims to ask the following questions:

• We talk a lot about the positive impact of social media on nurses but what about the challenges? Are there any? What are they? 
• What are the pressures placed on nurses using social media? 
• How does social media affect our mental health as nurses? 
• What can we do to monitor our mental health in social media spaces and look after our own wellbeing?
• In a world that is becoming increasingly connected through social media what can nurses do moving forward to ensure the impact on us is positive?
