Did you know that approximately 35% of the complaints alleging abusive or inappropriate communication or behaviour by a nurse are related to inappropriate comments made on social media? Nurses must always remember to exercise professional judgment when posting remarks online or even when using private messaging on social media platforms, especially if they relate to patients, colleagues, the workplace, or the practice of nursing.
