The introduction of disease-modifying therapies and the realization that multiple sclerosis (MS) is a treatable disease has seen the emergence of an expanded role for advanced practice nurses (APNs) in the MS arena. Within MS centers, clinics, inpatient settings, and private practices, APNs may function as one or more of the following: administrator, consultant, researcher, advocate, and clinician. Because of the significant roles APNs play in the management of patients with MS, they must embody a core set of competencies delineated by domains specific to MS care. As MS care continues to evolve, APNs remain at the forefront of the multidisciplinary team of health professionals dedicated to optimizing outcomes through research, education, and the identification and implementation of best practices.

Health care in the United States is facing a crisis in providing access to quality care for those in underserved and rural regions. Advanced practice nurses are at the forefront of addressing such issues, through modalities such as health care technology. Many nursing education programs are seeking strategies for better educating students on technology utilization. Health care technology includes electronic health records, telemedicine, and clinical decision support systems. However, little focus has been placed on the role of social media in health care. This paper describes an educational workshop using standardized patients and hands-on experiences to introduce advanced practice nurses in a Doctor of Nursing Practice program to the role of social media in addressing issues inherent in the delivery of rural health care. The students explore innovative approaches for utilizing social media for patient and caregiver support as well as identify online resources that assist providers in a rural setting.
