Social Media applications have been rapidly adopted by users of all ages, forcing us to change how we think about communication. We have gone from telephone & face to face encounters to a digital public paradigm involving the use of social media. I will discuss how this impacts nursing practice, eputation, productivity and privacy. The wide use of social media both outside & within the healthcare community has far reaching implications for healthcare & the nursing profession. In terms of increased opportunities to communicate at personal & professional levels & enhanced access to information by both healthcare providers & members of the public.
