The LeadNursingForward team has protocols to address suspicious activity such as inappropriate content, misinformation, or spam to protect users and ensure the integrity of our community. Reporting features appear throughout the Portal, allowing community members to alert site administrators to suspicious activity. When a report is received, site administrators will immediately contact the suspected offender to notify them that a claim has been made, and that their profile and related content is under review. Site administrators will investigate all reports and take the appropriate action, which in some instances may result in the disabling or even permanent removal of the profile/job/event. LeadNursingForward encourages all users to review their Career Portal profile and related job and event posts to ensure they do not contain offensive or inappropriate content, inaccuracies, or inauthentic claims.
