This course Computer
Tools in Nursing is one of an interesting course to pursue. It has only
been the fourth week and I have learnt so much that I feel I have a cape
attached to my back to accomplish so much.
Computer tools in Nursing teaches one, how technology can be
applied to the field of nursing and the impact it can have by eliminating human
errors, allowing for collaboration and so much more. Technology has enabled my professional
development by these new learnt skills.I was able to recognize the difference between
software and hardware, identify different types of networks and connections
that’s suitable for the clinical setting. In short I have learnt the sequence
in which the user like me and you uses application software which are often
called productivity tools such as web browser, word processing software,
spreadsheet software, database software to organize data, create and edit images,
perform online research and many other tasks. This application software works
together with the operating system and sends and interprets the commands/instructions
of the user, which is coupled with the hardware.
