NLN's position paper on preparing nurses to work with technology

"The California Healthcare Foundation has released a new whitepaper, How Smartphones Are Changing Health Care for Consumers and Providers, authored by Jane Sarasohn-Kahn. Key findings include: * Two thirds of physicians used a smart phone in 2009 * 6% of physicians were using an electronic medical records system * 42% of Americans use smartphones * Top uses of smartphones for consumers include: medication adherence, home monitoring, fitness apps, managing chronic conditions"

This toolkit contains resources related to computer and information literacy

This is a fantastic resource that directly relates to the mission of http://www.inet-nurse.org. I feel confident in following the lead of the NLN in preparing technology savvy nurses and nurse educators. One idea was to establish a 'computer drivers license' - check on the site: http://www.icdlus.org/ Looking forward to implementing something like this.

This is the best internet timeline I've seen. A good thing to scan and get your bearings with most things related to the internet.

This site would be excellent to integrate into an informatics course.
