Little
guys March 18, 2016 -- Sometimes it's not the big guys who are at the top of the nursing education game. Unlike the major nursing schools of the Bay Area, little Holy Name U. has Nursing Informatics course offerings in its curriculum. Not only do the bigger players (I won't name names, but you know them!) have no such courses, they are not interested. Given that today's nurses spend more time in front of the computer than in front of the patient, why don't all the schools do what HNU is doing? Today I attended HNU's annual nursing symposium. Though the essential purpose of events such as this one is recruitment, I did learn a lot and found the majority of the presentations valuable and even eye-opening. Go little guys! |
