& has memory. Its terrific for documenting #RNchat
Thu Jan 20 18:17:51 PST 2011

Aggiern95 What is camtasia? #RNChat

Thu Jan 20 18:17:52 PST 2011

thebusynurse T1 - it's old school tech, but "nurse on a stick" seems to be rather popular as you can never
get one when you really need one! #RNchat
Thu Jan 20 18:17:53 PST 2011

nurseeducator T1 I love Snag it for screen captures and voice overs. Lately enjoying the Flip HD cam.so
easy to use! Use them in Staff Development #rnchat

Thu Jan 20 18:18:45 PST 2011

and he/she ALSO sees the #EMR of the pt. T1
Thu Jan 20 18:18:55 PST 2011

Aggiern95 T1 the other thing I like is iClickers in the classroom. You can get instant feedback from the
students #RNChat

are they greatest for patient safety! #RNCHAT

#RNCHAT

nowhitecaps T2 Not sure about the hosp, but the school does. Absolutely no discussion of clinical
experiences, not evn "I had a good day today." #RNChat
Thu Jan 20 18:35:55 PST 2011

EllenRichter T2 My hospital needs to get "with it" in the social media arena. Our rules are: block all social
media sites from the whole campus #RNchat
Thu Jan 20 18:36:48 PST 2011

Safety4Nurses @nowhitecaps Wow! Not even "I had a good day"!! strict but that is good #RNCHAT
Thu Jan 20 18:37:15 PST 2011

nurseeducator T2 No official policy yet...told it's in development. Able for now to use SM as long as it is
work related. I use FB 4 my department #rnchat
Thu Jan 20 18:37:35 PST 2011

PamelaKline @EllenRichter I agree with you, that's definitely not the way to address social media.
#RNChat
Thu Jan 20 18:38:04 PST 2011

lousy or good day. Thats not doing harm! :) #RNchat

Thu Jan 20 18:39:22 PST 2011

thebusynurse @EllenRichter that was the way it was at ALL the hospitals I did clinical at. Their thinking
must be: block it = it does not exist! #RNchat
Thu Jan 20 18:39:25 PST 2011

nurseeducator @EllenRichter T2 Is your institution open to discussion if you went through the chain of

Aggiern95 T2 i am not sure if there is a policy in place but I also don't work in a hospital #RNChat
Thu Jan 20 18:39:28 PST 2011

EllenRichter T2 I think facilities fear that all the health care providers will be busy updating their SoMe
sites instead of patient care...sigh #RNchat
Thu Jan 20 18:39:31 PST 2011

SusanNiemeierRN @NurseEducator Not using Dragon software but a number of device appsthat charts

SSannerPhDRN T2 it's sometimes difficult to get on SoMe at the hospital b/c of the firewall protection.

nurseeducator @SusanNiemeierRN read that voice interface is good from an ergonomic stance #rnchat
Thu Jan 20 18:41:26 PST 2011

Safety4Nurses @EllenRichter I agree that facilities feel staff will waste time on SM at work but what about
afterhours..need rules #RNCHAT
Thu Jan 20 18:41:34 PST 2011
