Lots to add in 2014 because the class was last updated in 2005.

Also got a chance to see this weirdo too.

August is all about Region V

After a quick visit to the White House in July, I realized that August will also be a busy month.

Akron, Columbus, Wauseon, Wisconsin, then back to Columbus and then to Geneva.

So yes, all month I will be in FEMA Region-V.

If all goes well, September will include several trips to Region-III, but I’ll keep you posted.

Keep your head down peeps.

It’s really amazing to see how much a smaller news station can accomplish especially with the right people and the right technology.

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?

Instagram post (Cort of ABCNews.com)

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…
