Why does the Canadian Nurses Association and the College of Nurses of Ontario promote and encourage nurses to be proficient in Integrated Communication Technologies (ICT)?
1) To provide nurses the opportunity to obtain certification in computer information credentials
2) So that nurses could develop and maintain competencies in technological applications that support information management in professional practice
3) To allow nurses to teach information technology and broaden their scope of practice
4) So that nurses can switch jobs more easily or have an area where they can retreat to from their main practice.
