In this article there is an understanding for the need to incorporate technology in nursing
education. It is important for the instructors to maintain a high level of efficiency in order
to education nursing students. There may need to be a team that is designed to help with
these transitions including nurse managers and a technology expert. I will use this article
to show the importance of nursing students to keep and maintain an understanding in
nursing technology.

In this article there is an explanation of why nurses not only be knowledgeable in nursing skills
but they must also become educated in information technology. The technology can improve
quality of care, reduce costs and errors and can allow for easy access to healthcare information. I
will use this article as another resource to defend my topic, it is similar to some of the others in
the basic fact of stressing the importance of IT in nursing.

This source describes a society where smartphones and tablets are continuously changing. This
may challenge how the nurse is learning; schools incorporate high tech mannequins as part of the
simulation experience. Technology as it relates to education can be e-books, instant access to
medications and diagnosis. This all leads to better and faster information to overall help the

patient. It is related to other sources in general discussing technology. I will use it as an example
of what is currently changing in nursing education.
Rothwell, Kristin. Advances in Technology Revolutionizing Patient Care. Nurse Zone. Web. 24 Feb
2015.
This article pronounces that advances in technology are actually improving patient care. If nurses
are able to get information faster it will make their job easier and therefore improve patient care.
Instead of carrying paper manuals or references, the use of PDA or tablets lets the nurse enter
patient information at the bedside. I will use this article as it describes some of the uses for better
technology within the nursing profession and the good that comes with it.
Saba, Virginia K. , McCormick Kathleen Ann. Essentials of Nursing Informatics. New York: McGrawHill, 2006. Print.
In this book the author points out several important reasons why nursing informatics also known
as technology and how it relates to nursing. The title which incorporates essentials, tells us that it
is one of the basic necessities when we discuss nursing in our society today. Not only must
nurses know the hands on skills, but knowing the IT skills is imperative as well. I will use this
book as a basic tool to support my topic and how it relates to technology today.

This author coins the phrase nursing informatics. She stresses the importance of being competent
in given situations as it pertains to technology. Being technology competent in the authors point
of view is just as important as hands on technical skills. I will use her article to support my topic
and what strong importance technology plays in everyday nursing.

The author in this article describes the importance of nurses making the conscious effort to not
let the advanced technology take place of our empathy and compassion for patients. Technology
is unavoidable and will continue to flourish and while nurses must keep up to date, always
remember the patient is what is most important. This article is a little different than other articles
but the basis is the advances we must learn today. I will use it as a supporting article for keeping
up on technology advances.

text. Web. 3 Mar. 2015.
In this particular article the author goes into a specific field of nursing when describing the
technology advances. The article emphasizes the ICU or critical care units. Specific units are
equipped with cameras, microphones and speakers which is connected with a remote location on
campus. There where critical care physicians can monitor patients in critical states in addition to
the staff that is caring for them. I found this information supportive although it is different from
my other sources, I will use it to define some major advancements in nursing.

The author of this article touches base on the changes that are occurring in technology and why it
is important for nurse managers to also be knowledgeable and IT savvy. The article goes into
detail about what we consider nursing technology to be. It goes on to detail some changes that
have taken place since the mid 1970s. I will use this article as supportive evidence of the
importance of being technologically inclined.

with full text. Web. 3 Mar. 2015.
The article discusses the importance of emerging nursing care with technology. It defines nurses
as important contributors to the use and integration of healthcare technology. The knowledge is
needed in order to provide sufficient patient care. It also describes particular devices such as
stethoscopes which we dont consider technology, but were not always available to us. I will use
the article to enhance the importance of knowing that healthcare technology is a major part of
nursing in our society today.
