Are you a techy?
Incorporating information technology in nursing can be a daunting task. For those nurses who want nothing to do with any form of computer, it is nearly impossible. The onus falls upon the technologically savvy nurse on the unit. Those that detest new tech believe that those of us that are ‘techies’ really love computers. “Get her to do it, she’s good at that”. The buck gets passed constantly—I feel it is completely unfair. For the profession to move forward, everyone must be on the same page. The passing of duties and responsibilities must stop. It can breed contempt or resentment on the unit. This can lead to a stressful and unpleasant work environment. Everyone has the potential, lets tap into it!!
