Abstract

The topic of ensuring that all nurses had computer knowledge and skills dates back to the work of Anderson, Gremy, and Pages1 and Ronald.2 These articles not only called upon the profession to address the necessary knowledge and skills, but also provided information about the first nursing course that offered computer literacy in the profession. In the early 1987s, the call to action was for nurses to have computer literacy skills.3,4 To address this, Ronald and Skiba5 wrote a monograph that provided an educational framework to teach three different levels of learners (informed user, proficient user, and developers) about computer education. The monograph provided content outlines and resources for teaching.
