The ANA has come out with their Principles for Social Networking and the Nurse and also taken it a step further by creating a Toolkit with materials to help educate staff. If you are a nursing leader, I recommend getting a copy and incorporating it into your organization's policies and guidelines.
The principles are important to any nurse, so I also recommend using the toolkit to educate nurses, students and the organization's leadership.
I also read The Dos and Don’ts of Social Media for Nurses at Nurse Zone and think Jennifer has some good advice.
Update: 1/20/12
The NCSBN has also released new social media resources and guidance for nurses.
Social media is promoting this profession in a very good way and manner.Women should adopt this as a first priority profession too.
