I SURVIVED SUMMER CLASS!



     Sooo.. SUMMER CLASS IS FINALLY OVER! Oh yeah!

     SWEET!

    Felt like I was imprisoned for two thick months!  For the last three weeks of my summer class were like HELL WEEK for me! Awwww! Really. Seriously. And I hate it! There were times that I wasn't feeling happy anymore of what I'm doing. And sometimes, I feel so.. lazy, depressed, and unmotivated. But there were times (a lot of times), that I wasn't sleeping anymore. Yep. Awake for like 24 hours just to finish doing projects or just simply reviewing. Eeewww! I know, I know, THAT SUCKS! But do I looked like I have a choice at all? ZIP! NONE! NADA! Well, apparently I have no choice at all!
    
     So yeah,  I had to suck up all the drama,  pull myself together and deal with it..  So...



TADAAA!!!
~Summer Class is...
FINALLY, AWESOMELY, AMAZINGLY, HANDSOMELY, BEAUTIFULLY, FREAKINGLY, OVERRRRRRRRRRR!

    Yep! You heard me right! It's OVER! And I can't even imagine how I survived it!
    Haha. Well basically, this blog is just me saying how happy and relief I am that classes are over. And tomorrow is our enrollment!

    WHAT THE!

    Just kidding! :DD

*Shout out to all college students out there who had their summer classes this year. You all deserve a pat on the back guys! PEACE! =)

The Future of Nursing Informatics

      Technology and the effective use of it – is our future. The future of nursing and Nursing Informatics is in alignment with the future of healthcare – growth in the use of technology to ensure safety, positive outcomes and satisfaction of patients. Nursing is at the forefront of this wave of technology innovation.

     The Nursing Unit of the Future provides nurses with an opportunity to experience, assess benefits and provide feedback regarding new information technologies prior to implementation house-wide. As the nurses evaluate the clinical efficacy of devices and applications, the Nursing Informatics team also evaluates technical and clinical outcomes criteria including:
  • How devices withstand normal wear and tear
  • How easily information is gathered and recorded
  • User friendliness
  • Clinician satisfaction
  • Time efficiency versus existing methods
  • Impact on patient safety
  • Impact on patient satisfaction
  • Impact on caregiver satisfaction

    More Promise for the Future

         The future holds rapid and ongoing paradigm shifts for clinical caregivers, especially in the areas of electronic documentation, physician order entry and the collaborative transformation of clinical practice.4

         Technology holds the promise to eliminate redundancy, aggregate relevant information in easy to access and read formats and improve caregiver efficiency, as it enhances nursing practice and drives improvements in patient quality outcomes.

          Truly, we'd be all  be worse without a NURSE BUT definitely it'll be a misery without NURSING INFORMATICS. ^^
