Abstract

Many nurses indicate that they lack the formal education needed to use resources such as the Internet and computer technology related to bealthcare. The results of a survey at a baccalaureate school of nursing revealed that although nearly 100% of those surveyed used computers, very few effectively used available Internet resources. In response, the authors implemented strategies to make available Internet resources "user-friendly" for communication and information gathering.
