Social Media Policy

Using Social Media Smartly

Remember you represent yourself, Goldfarb, and the nursing profession online. (See the full GSON Social Media Policy for details).

  • Be Professional: Act online like you would in a classroom or clinical setting.
  • Keep Secrets Secret: Don't share confidential GSON or BJC info.
  • HIPAA STILL APPLIES: Never post anything about patients – not even vague descriptions that someone might recognize. Don't mention clinical sites or specific situations.
  • Your Opinions are Your Own: If you post about nursing or healthcare, make it clear you're not speaking for Goldfarb.
  • Be Respectful: Avoid nasty, harassing, or inappropriate posts. No cyberbullying.
  • Follow the Rules: All GSON policies apply to your online activity too.
