Upcoming webinar: Social media safety
Social media can be used to share interesting facts, stories and other important information. But it also raises a lot of questions. How can we stay safe online? How do we prevent being hacked? Are we safe to make purchases online?
Join the Staff Nurse Interest Group along with the Retired Nurse Interest Group on Zoom with guest Anukul Thakur who will present a webinar on social media safety. We will give more details on Anukul in the near future.
Social media is a part of our day-to-day life, but it can be confusing. Are you confused by all the platforms? Children and teens seem obsessed by platforms like Tiktok – but what are they? Are they safe? Do employers or boards look at your social media use when considering potential hires?
Join us on Zoom on Thursday, Oct. 27, 2022 from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.
Register at: https://myrnao.ca/civicrm/event/info?id=1318&reset=1
Have any specific questions that you might be concerned with? If so, email us at staffnurseinterestgroup@gmail.com or retnig21.rnao@gmail.com – we'll forward your questions to Anukul. Or save them for the webinar!
Hope to see you there!
