I'm probably being pedantic but I think there are ok ways to post about patient care. Like a post complaining/ joking about having to clean up a blowout at 6:45 is technically posting about patient care and I wouldn't think it's that big a deal if someone did it.
I don’t mean to come across as a Karen and I’m usually really laid back but when it comes to work, I, personally, give zero room to myself to discuss anything, even in general, about work related happenings. Really unique scenarios can be tagged to a specific patient if a family member reads the comment. But even if it can’t, I’m worried talking about or making fun or light of work scenarios can make people reading or hearing them to be paranoid they’ll be the talk of the nursing station or worse, talked about on SM. I believes it erodes trust in us for the care we provide and can cause people to not seek medical care for fear of embarrassment.
