Hey Everyone,

Please look over the attached flyers. They are tips and guidelines as to how we, as professional nurses, should portray ourselves on the internet and with social media.

Also, please take a few minutes to sign this petition to get the new MTV show, "Scrubbing In" off the air. We feel that the show is a gross and offensive

misrepresentation of nurses and it is a disgrace to our profession. Nurses are the #1 respected and trusted profession and this show undermines the integrity of that. Please take the time to sign the petition... The more of us that sign it, the better chance we have of being heard. Here is the link:

For those of you who have not seen what the show is about:
