2 Professionalism and Social Media Q-1 Describe the posts or conversations in which you have engaged that might be considered inappropriate based on the professional standards of nursing.

In the advanced world, social networking platforms provide avenues for socializing. People share their experiences through social media sites. The individual from the far-flung areas of the world can reach the information in their refuge. The frequently used social media platforms are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Linked In, etc. These platforms provide audio or video chat rooms via which one can grab the attention of others. Many of my colleagues have a habit of sharing their experiences about the patient they're assigned to look after. They keep up posting about their jobs at a hospital. The content usually posted is harmless and surely shared with good intentions. However, we cannot always expect a positive response from viewers. Sometimes the conversation led in the wrong direction (Charalambous, 2019). A few days back, one of my nurse mates posted about a patient diagnosed with a severe illness. The nurse wanted to share the efforts they made to lessen the miseries of severely ill people. People respond negatively; they think the nurses now take the patient's sufferings as a globalizing stock. The discussion seems uncontrollable. People blame the hospital facility too. When I get to know about the incident, I flared up at the nurse for her posts. The nurse firstly feels insulted but feels sorry for what she has done. I later apologize to her for being loud. She got realized that this was sensitive content that should not be shared on social media platforms.
