Presenter:

Janet Raman, Assistant Professor, CNPH, Adelphi University

Abstract:

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) and the National League for Nursing (NLN), as well as many other nursing organizations, have called for the integration of information technology into nursing curriculums to prepare nursing students for the present-day practice environment in which it is necessary to have access to vast amounts of information to provide patient care. Nurse educators have begun to do so, but are the available technologies, in particular, mobile technology, being maximized? The benefits and concerns regarding the use of Mobile Technology in Nursing Education will be explored as well as recommendations for successfully implementing Mobile Technology in Nursing Education.
