During my WeLearn journey, I have found it interesting to learn more about the uses of social media, that a nurse can benefit from. As well as looking at the positives and negatives! #PUNC22

[Izzy Allison @IzzyAPUNC22]

I feel very passionate about this topic, I believe quality of life is important when living and dying. This article made me specifically think about this topic relating to people who have experienced a stroke #PUNC22

Facebook has positives and negatives like all social media. I personally deactivated my Facebook a while ago as I found there was lots of misinformation, but I also appreciate it's a great way to connect with others and there is accurate information shared #PUNC22

I found this blog today through carrot learning and I find it interesting because of their exploration into the link between moderate-severe midlife anxiety and dementia, finding that it does make an impact on someone's cognition in later life! #PUNC22

@WeNurses Thank you for setting up this chat! It was very interesting to see everyone's views and great to take part 😃🐦 #PUNC22

@WeNurses When nurses are engaged within an online nursing network, they are more connected and educated through current research and experiences, inevitably resulting in a better patient outcome #PUNC22 @WeNurses

@WeNurses There can be privacy concerns, that can be solved by checking the privacy settings. There can also be unease about the validity of the health resources shared, therefore it is important to check the how reliable the article is before sharing the information #PUNC22

[Izzy Allison @IzzyAPUNC22]

@WeNurses Social media can be used by nurses to share factual health information that may be helpful to patients and following from the previous question, the knowledge gained can be used to support and help patients in practice #PUNC22

[WeNurses 💙 @WeNurses]

Yes to this... :) #PUNC22

We talk about "connectivity" a lot... it is important

Connectivity = Knowledge knowledge = Quality

[Izzy Allison @IzzyAPUNC22]

@WeNurses Nurses engaging in social media can gain more knowledge through resources shared and have open conversations with professionals from a variety of backgrounds #PUNC22

[Izzy Allison @IzzyAPUNC22]

@WeNurses Hello 🤗 #PUNC22

[Izzy Allison @IzzyAPUNC22]

I think it's great to use social media to share health information and professionals to socialise but as Ferguson et al (2013l wrote 'the risk and benefits should be debated' as I agree there are issues surrounding social media and it's health information coverage! #PUNC22 #DAY7

Today I have been learning more about 'Leading Change,Adding Value' 2016 #PUNC22

[Izzy Allison @IzzyAPUNC22]

'Self and Identity: Raising Undergraduate students Awareness on Their Digital Footprints' - I found this article interesting and makes an important point, that even though a lot of undergraduates feel digitally confident, it doesn't mean it should be without guidance. #PUNC22

[Izzy Allison @IzzyAPUNC22]

It's important to take care of your digital footprint! For now and your future. Ensuring it privacy settings are up to date and being aware of what you are posting. #PUNC22

[Izzy Allison @IzzyAPUNC22]

@WeNurses It was very informative and interesting to look at all the information. Thank you very much #PUNC22

[Izzy Allison @IzzyAPUNC22]
