IFN Community Guidelines
Welcome to the IFN community! This space is designed to foster collaboration, respect, and support among members of the functional nursing community. To ensure everyone benefits from this platform, please adhere to the following guidelines:
1. Case Sharing and Clinical Discussions
-
Protect Privacy: Remove all patient-identifying information, including names, initials, dates of birth, and locations, before sharing a case.
-
Educational Purpose Only: This platform is for professional learning and discussion, not for patient care decision-making.
-
No Direct Diagnoses or Prescriptions: Do not solicit or offer definitive diagnoses or treatment plans. Frame discussions as educational, not directive.
2. Giving and Receiving Advice
-
Language Matters: Frame advice in supportive and suggestive terms. Avoid phrases like "You should" or "You must." Instead, use language like "Consider trying" or "You might explore."
-
Peer Support, Not Substitution: This platform is for peer support. It is not a replacement for professional consultations or formal medical advice.
3. Sensitive and Respectful Communication
-
Constructive Feedback: Share feedback in a kind, respectful, and solution-focused manner.
-
Seek Clarity First: If something is unclear, ask questions before making assumptions.
4. Posting Etiquette
-
Stay Relevant: Post content in the most appropriate circle/category (e.g., clinical questions in "Clinical Consults," practice management in "Entrepreneurship").
-
Be Clear and Concise: Ensure your posts are easy to understand and stay on topic to help others engage effectively.
5. Respect and Professional Conduct
-
Mutual Respect: Treat all members with respect, regardless of differences in opinion, background, or expertise.
-
Zero Tolerance for Harassment: Bullying, personal attacks, or inflammatory comments will not be tolerated.
6. Resource and Link Sharing
-
Credit the Creator: Attribute resources to their original source.
-
No Unapproved Self-Promotion: Promotional content, including marketing your services, courses, or products, is not permitted unless approved by IFN moderators in advance.
7. Balancing Professional and Personal Connection
-
Mix It Up: Professional topics are welcome, and so are occasional personal wins or updates in spaces like the “Off-Topic Lounge.”
-
Burnout Support: Use the community to share strategies for preventing burnout and maintaining work-life balance.
8. Reporting and Moderation
