S3E72 Advocate Smart: Nurses, Social Media & Responsible Activism Host Tina Baxter
Welcome to The Nurse Shark Academy with a special Leadership Lessons episode, where we talk about leadership, advocacy, and the future of nursing. I’m your host Tina Baxter, and today, we’re diving into a hot topic — one that every nurse using social media should think about: responsible activism and influencing online.
We’re living in a digital age where nurses have massive influence. We can use our voices to challenge policies, share frontline truths, and educate the public. But — as we’ve seen — some posts can backfire in ways that threaten jobs, licenses, and reputations.
So in this episode, we’ll explore:
- Real examples of nurses who went viral — and sometimes paid the price,
- What to know about your employer’s social media policy,
- Legal pitfalls that can catch you off guard,
- And five practical tips to advocate effectively — without courting backlash.
