Asking why Information Technology important in NURSING?
The world has changed dramatically over the years. And though we seldom acknowledge it, information has become one of the essential fuels needed by our society to progress and thus the importance of information technology which deals with the efficient order of information in the net. And as a student nurse this is very useful for me and for my chosen profession.
Being a nurse entails a lot of research on procedures and facts about the diagnosis that are made, and teachings that we should do. Also, being a nurse, we should be kept up to date on new techniques and medical breakthroughs to ensure proper care for client. Research would be very slow and would take a lot of time if we were to research it from books. And when health is involved, time is always an essence to become an efficient health care provider. We need to work hard especially since we are dealing with lives.
The net houses information of almost anything n this world and it has a search and retrieve mechanism that can enhance results as fast as mere seconds. This is indeed very useful to the nursing profession.
