Nightingale's perspective of nursing administration.
Nightingale is often thought of for her clinical nursing care, but Henry, Woods, and Nagelkerk remind us that she was first and foremost a nursing administrator. Much of Nightingale's advice, as quoted here, sounds strangely modern and applicable today.
Nursing informatics: the trend of the future.
Nursing informatics is a combination of computer, information, and nursing sciences. This new and expanding field addresses the efficient and effective use of information for nurses. Preparing nurses for computerization is essential to confront an explosion of sophisticated computerized technology in the workplace. It is critical in a competitive health care market for preparing nurses to use the most cost-effective methods. A model is presented that identifies six essential factors for preparing nurses for computerization. Strong leadership, effective communication, organized training sessions, established time frames, planned change, and tailored software are the essential factors to consider for development of a successful educational program.
