This 5 module (15 CE credit) course introduces nurses to the amazing phenomena of social media in the context of nursing practice, leadership and professional development. The escalating use of social media in health care and society at large is explored, grounded in the principles and theory of Web 2.0 networking and creativity. The course is assessed using practical applications of principles and theory including the step-by-step creation and development of (or expansion of existing) nursing/professional accounts using platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Youtube.
