Oncology Nurses: Influencers on Social Media

As oncology nurses, we know that we can provide our patients and caregivers with fact-based information to help them manage symptoms, support their coping, and provide clarity for their decision-making (Gaguski et al., 2017). The credibility of nurses has been confirmed by multiyear surveys, placing nurses at the top of trusted professions in the United States (Saad, 2020). Our ability as nurses to provide accurate information is one of our nursing superpowers-a way to counteract the slurry of misinformation that unfortunately permeates societal discourse of late.
