Nurses and Social Media I chose scenario three for my topic. Emily was a nursing student who was doing her clinical rotations and was on pediatrics at the time. Emily had a 3-year-old patient Tommy that she cared for. One day during her rotation, Emily was so proud of Tommy for receiving chemotherapy and battling leukemia.

As per the ANA’s principles for Social media networking, they should not
