[Continuous responsibility for professionalism and informatics literacy of nurses]. 2014

Martina Fruk Marinković

Nurses should be aware of their responsibilities and standards that are expected from their work. They are aware of their need of continuous professional development. Their choice of profession has confirmed their readiness for lifelong training and acquiring new knowledge and skills to transfer them to others. Witnessing an explosion of information on the Internet and opportunity to approach them, there is a must to go for them. For searching the Internet, some new abilities and skills are required from nurses. They should not only be able to access the information but also to evaluate it. The leading role in such activities belongs to nurse-educators--they should practice Information and Communication Technology (ICT) literacy and insist on ICT literacy standards. All other nurses should follow them and implement ICT in their daily practice.
