Educating nurses to use computer technology involves complex strategies. As adult students, many are eager to learn uses of computers for nursing education, nursing research, nursing practice, and nursing administration. It is the role of the faculty member to make the computer laboratory experiences meaningful and pragmatic for these 'first time' computer users. This article describes a method that promotes learning by requiring students to solve a nursing problem relevant to their practice using available microcomputer software.
