Computer competencies identified for nursing staff development educators. 1989

M L Armstrong

As part of a national study, eleven staff development/inservice educators identified, critiqued, and ranked present and future (1990) computer competencies needed by nurse educators teaching in basic and continuing education. Now, nursing staff development/inservice educators can compare their present level of knowledge of the technology to the important competencies ranked by their peers. Based on this assessment, continuing education strategies can be designed so the educator can be a responsive decision-maker regarding computer technology in the information-based health care delivery system.
