Thank-you for sharing this with us. I am new to blogging and am looking for sites that I can relate to as it is an assignment in my Doctoral program to participate in social media.
I am a teacher in a Nursing program in Ontario and our students are very active in the CNSA. We hosted a regional conference in our city in 2008 and it was dubbed the best regional. It is amazing how the group of studnets can generate so much positive energy and inspire change.

Great presentation, Use of technology in nursing education has significantly changed teaching strategies and will continue to challenge nurse educators in the years ahead. The digital age is here to stay and the rapid growth of the digital age will continue. Developing the needed fluency with technology should not be fraught with frustration. Faculty development is crucial and needs be a continuing focus for nursing education administrators and faculty alike both to enhance student learning and retain faculty.

Hi Rob
Just had an opportunity to watch your presentation. I think your feeling is right that we are starting to see movement in thinking about how these tools can be used. Baby steps ! is how it all happens
I was thrilled today to learn my nursing unit is considering the use of texting as a way of quickly communicating with staff about shifts that need to be filled rather then the charge nurse making 30 phones calls to find staff. It makes sense, saves time and uses a tool wisely in practice.

I have a real desire to see patient education at the bedside move forward with the use of technology.. using the tools such a video streaming to an ipad for example at the bedside of pictures and content (teaching wound care on discharge is just one example). I know our physicians draw diagrams for patients on whiteboards to explain to parent certain surgical procedures but image how much more effective the explainations can be with pictures on an ipad. Nurses spend hours educating patients and families and we teach that patient education involves knowing how our learners learn. As a patient at the bedside I would welcome watching and video on an Ipad to explain my upcoming surgery (and as you not most patients search the internet for information).

You tube has some incredible videos that I have used with my students in health assessment to facilitate learning... and I am always amazed at what is out there and how much more interesting it in then the text book!!

Thank you for sharing you speech.

Your former health assessment teacher Wendy Jones - now Wendy Garcia !

Such a simple idea but not always done. It can really protect against the spreading of germs.

While I appreciate the impact that this video is trying to make, I find its message (It just makes sense!) simplistic. We need a far more sophisticated approach to hand hygiene, one that takes account of the role of identity into current practice. Did anyone notice that the health practitioner is male?

Re: Negativity in nursing needs to go

Greg Mercer, MSN — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 10:45:11 -0000

So true! Negativity is a soul-crusher, it saps moral, energy, creativity, end hope. It also serves as a self-deluding rationalization that all is hopeless, so its OK not to try to make things better. Change is hard, and change takes some courage, but things can most certainly get better for Nursing. Besides, I love what I do: it took a few job changes along the way, but Nursing is a really big, quite diverse tent. It does Nurses and their patients no favors to stick with an disliked position: we should move on if we can, or step up and improve things if we can't go or simply don't want to go.
