Abstract

Gone are the days when meetings were held in large assembly rooms and preparations were needed to accommodate large number of people. In voluntary organizations’ meetings people were compelled to participate in a face to face meeting after a much debated place to hold the meeting. Now participants do not need to worry to go to faraway places to attend the meetings, group discussions, classes, seminars and many other events. Social media have provided opportunities to actively participate in events with the comfort of a home. Social media is having a great impact on the society particularly the educated section of the society. Nursing students and nursing professionals being part of the community are also being influenced by the social media. Use of social media has both advantages and disadvantages and this fact applies equally to the nursing professionals using it. Social media has brought a tremendous revolution in communication and disseminating information to people in all the corners of the world. Social media, a big tool of communication, is increasingly becoming popular with nursing professionals but there is a need to understand that it has to be used cautiously otherwise it may bring a bad name to the nursing profession.
