No HIPAA violation, but RN fired for posting to Instagram?

Wait a sec…

You can get fired for posting an Instagram picture even without a patient in the picture?

Apparently Katie Duke (RN) was fired from New York Presbyterian Hospital because of her Instagram post was deemed “insensitive”.

We talk a bunch about this my PIO/Social Media classes right?

Again I ask, can you get fired from your job because of an Instagram post?

Guess so…

No lie…it’s July!

July is here!

I’ve been detailed to several functions this month as well as a few classes.

Most of the month will be spent in the home state Ohio! Don’t worry. Still showing the love for FEMA Region-V.

I am hoping for a quick deployment to Region 4 again, but I’ll keep you posted.

I’ve also taken a new position as well (more on that to come later).

Well, I can’t believe we are already into the second half of 2014 already.

Be safe everyone!
