Rapidly evolving technological advances in healthcare have transformed how nurses deliver patient care.

The ED is a highly specialised clinical area and requires nurses to be confident and competent in the use of technology. It is understood that technology can be intimidating to the novice nurse entering a clinical environment. Whilst you will not be expected to have expertise in the use of technology, it will be important to embrace technology and to demonstrate a desire to learn. As a student it will be an excellent opportunity for you to familiarise yourself with the technology.

Within this module there are articles highlighting how the use of technology is changing and how nurses deliver patient care in the ED.
