Nova Scotia College of Nursing

Posts and comments from nurses must be appropriate and professional. Even when an inappropriate post on social media is deleted, it may still continue to live on in this public space. If you see an inappropriate post from a nurse, refrain from liking, sharing or commenting on the post because this makes it more difficult to remove from the platform. For more information, refer to Appropriate Social Media Use During COVID-19: http://ow.ly/v61j50zmPcs and the Social Media Guidelines: http://ow.ly/RbUk50zmPcr. In addition, any posts or comments made on our own page that do not meet this standard will be deleted and NSCN may take action, as required.
