Frequently, a nurse’s first and only contact with a graduate school, legislator, public health official, professional organization, or school nursing colleague is made through e-mail. The format, the content, and the appearance of the e-mail create a virtual first impression. Nurses can manage their image and the image of the profession by communicating electronically in a manner appropriate for the professional role.

Key Words: communication • electronic mail • e-mail • human • image • information systems • Internet • interpersonal relations • interprofessional relations • professional-patient relations • professionalism • school nursing
