Nurses continue to experience increased psychological distress during the pandemic and have a great need for support services; however, stigma regarding mental health is a barrier to nurses seeking assistance.

Nurses' mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic is critical. Many are experiencing depression, anxiety, witnessed trauma & should have support services at work to facilitate continued patient care & nurse retention rates. https://t.co/zuE5iOb0d7 #JHSON @SigmaNursing @DrTomori

Do you know 1 in 8 Visits to the ED is related to Mental health/Substance use disorder. What is congress doing? Urge write to Senators and Push for S.2157 Bill that will provide funding to improve Mental Health Care post discharge. @ANANurses

@FatiArastuRN @ANANurses @DrTomori Yes, access to mental health care following ED visits remains challenging for many communities and contributes to frequent return ED visits, S.2175 is a step in the right direction @ANANurses @DrTomori

@kmciltr1 @VanessaBattist4 @grubblisam12 @JHUNursing A6: I created a Twitter account for required courses. Twitter chats have been a positive experience in that I learned how social media can be used to share info relevant to my practice, which I had not considered previously. https://t.co/R2njcraqSr #OrgLead21 #JHSON

@kmciltr1 @VanessaBattist4 @grubblisam12 @JHUNursing A6: I created a Twitter account for two JHU courses which required me to do so. Twitter chats have been a positive experience in that I learned how social media can be used to share info relevant to my practice, which I had not considered previously. #OrgLead21 #JHSON

@ABerdugo_FNP @kmciltr1 @VanessaBattist4 @grubblisam12 @JHUNursing Yes social media has both benefits and challenges with use. #OrgLead21 #JHSON

@kmciltr1 @VanessaBattist4 @grubblisam12 @JHUNursing A5: Many health topics can be found on YouTube from weight loss to general wellness videos, which can be positive if the information is from reputable sources like https://t.co/P9VkwYt5NZ however since anyone can post on YouTube, info may be invalid or unsafe #OrgLead21 #JHSON

[Onome Okurume DNP, PMHNP-BC @OOkurume]

@ChristinaLammey @kmciltr1 @VanessaBattist4 @grubblisam12 @JHUNursing Agree. So many people prefer spcial media as a form of communication so every effort should be made to make the platforms helpful with regard to health care access and other important things that affect the lives of the population at large. #OrgLead21 #JHSON

@kmciltr1 @VanessaBattist4 @grubblisam12 @JHUNursing A2: My role as PMHNP at the Alaska VA has not necessitated the use of social media. In Alaska https://t.co/OqZjoNJNyI informs veterans & the community of upcoming events such as flu clinics, suicide prevention, veterans’ appreciation & other activities. #OrgLead21 #JHSONusing

@mjulia109 @kmciltr1 @VanessaBattist4 @grubblisam12 @JHUNursing The VA gives good guidance to employees on appropriate use of social media as an employee so I feel fairly confident that if I needed to do so I would stay within guidelines and have a specific person to ask if I was unsure about something. #OrgLead21 #JHSON

[Onome Okurume DNP, PMHNP-BC @OOkurume]

@mjulia109 @kmciltr1 @VanessaBattist4 @grubblisam12 @JHUNursing This is a valid concern. The VA has pretty set guidelines with regard to appropriate use of social media as an employee of the organization so I feel fairly confident that if I neeeded to use it I would have good guidance on what I could and could not do.

@YoonmiKim6 @kmciltr1 @VanessaBattist4 @grubblisam12 @JHUNursing @NolanOnNursing @Sarah_Szanton @Miki__Goodwin @RebeccaJPW @smr4dh @bvangra1 I work for the VA in Anchorage, Alaska and feel the VA as an organization makes great use of social media latforms to keep veterans, employees and community connected and informed. #OrgLead21 #JHS

@YoonmiKim6 @kmciltr1 @VanessaBattist4 @grubblisam12 @JHUNursing @NolanOnNursing @Sarah_Szanton @Miki__Goodwin @RebeccaJPW @smr4dh @bvangra1 I work for the VA as well in Anchrage Alaska. I think the VA as a whole makes great use of social media platforms to network and keep veterans, community and employees connected.

@kmciltr1 @VanessaBattist4 @grubblisam12 @JHUNursing @NolanOnNursing @Sarah_Szanton @Miki__Goodwin @RebeccaJPW @smr4dh @bvangra1 A1: The VA uses multiple social media platforms @DeptVetaffairs to inform veterans, employees & the community of upcoming events, veteran achievements, preventive care @VeteransHealth mental health issues & more https://t.co/cUP4oYODg8 #OrgLead21 #JHSON

@kmciltr1 @JDeSimone1722 @DrTomori As a fellow psychiatric NP I could not agree with you more.

[Onome Okurume DNP, PMHNP-BC @OOkurume]

@YoonmiKim6 @kmciltr1 I like the your use of the word 'effective' when talking about utilizing social media, particularly when it comes to health care. We have seen many examples of how non-effective use can cause confusion and chaos. #HealthPolicy21 #JHSON
