Abstract
Introducing Information Technology (IT) to clinical areas of hospitals requires appropriate educational preparation for nurse users. In the past two decades, many elements of the technology have changed dramatically, particularly the human- computer interface (Staggers, 1991). The development of computer training curricula for nurse end-users is thus difficult as the content to be taught is not static, but changing with the technology.
