Technology is on the rise

Due to recent advancements in technology, communication barriers in nursing are slowly disappearing. With the introduction of the use of PDA’s in the nursing profession, it has greatly decreased the amount of time nurses spend documenting and charting manually, thus nurses are able to spend more time with patient’s building a trusting and therapeutic relationship with them. In addition to the PDA assisting nurses in documenting and charting, it also allows nurses to send information to other health care providers in relation to a patient at any given time. As nursing students, we need to be open minded into accepting new technology into our studies in order to be able to provide timely and effective care for our patients.
