Using Twitter to Engage Online RN-to-BSN Students in Health Care Policy
Background:
Baccalaureate-prepared nurses have a professional responsibility to influence health care policy. This article describes a learning experience that effectively used Twitter to engage online RN-to-baccalaureate nursing (BSN) students in health care policy initiatives.
Method:
The learning experience included following individuals and groups involved in health care policy in specific categories that aligned with the weekly learning objectives in a 7-week online course. Effectiveness of the experience was evaluated through a final reflection.
Results:
All 49 students enrolled in the online health care policy course participated in the learning experience and followed a total of 645 policy-related individuals and groups. Analysis of qualitative evaluation data revealed two themes: Staying Up to Date, and Opening My Eyes.
Conclusion:
The findings show that integrating microblogging into an online RN-to-BSN course is an effective approach to engage students in health care policy. [J Nurs Educ. 2019;58(2):107-109.].
