Standards governing the profession of nursing.Standards governing the profession of
nursing.Assignment:Social media plays a significant role in the lives of nurses in both their
professional and personal lives. Additionally, social media is now considered a mainstream
part of the process for recruiting and hiring candidates. Inappropriate or unethical conduct
on social media can create legal problems for nurses as well as the field of nursing.Login to
all social media sites in which you engage. Review your profile, pictures and posts. Based on
the professional standards of nursing, identify items that would be considered
unprofessional and potentially detrimental to your career and that negatively impact the
reputation of the nursing field.In 500-750 words, summarize the findings of your
review. Include the following:Describe the posts or conversations in which you have
engaged that might be considered inappropriate based on the professional standards of
nursing.Discuss why nurses have a responsibility to uphold a standard of conduct
consistent with the standards governing the profession of nursing at work and in their
personal lives.Include discussion of how personal conduct can violate HIPAA or be
considered unethical or unprofessional.Provide an example of each to your answer. Based
on the analysis of your social media, discuss what areas of your social media activity reflect
Christian values as they relate to respecting human value and dignity for all
individuals.Describe areas of your social media activity that could be improved. Prepare this
assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student
Success Center.An abstract is not required.This assignment uses a rubric.Please review the
rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for
successful completion.You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.Refer to
the LopesWrite Technical articles for assistance.ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED,
PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your
computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on
your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous
misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in
silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is
advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten
corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12
characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins
or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended
number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large
margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines),
increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to
increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your
professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on
the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white
paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to
follow your argument.
