Hello - I'm a fourth year nursing student
I'm doing a presentation on nurses and technology in an issues class. The way I see it nurses use all types of technology from computers, PDA's and the internet etc.. And I think this is an important part of nursing and to promote nurses as professionals and leaders.
I think not being able to use the internet for research or client teaching information at work sets nurses back. Doctors and other medical professionals use this knowledge base.
I am curious if the experienced nurses out there have had clients ask about useful websites, and if most nurses have internet access. I have seen some older posts regarding internet access but didn't see if nurses are being asked about internet information by patients, or if patients are bringing information in for nurses to look at to see if it's from reliable sites.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
