| Sumario: | Educating, recruiting, and managing nurses from the 'Net Generation' hold unique challenges for nursing leaders.Traditional unidirectional teaching may be inadequate to satisfy a group accustomed to an instantaneous and interactive flow of information and dialogue.Traditional hierarchical relationships and management techniques may stifle and frustrate a group who has learned to learn by questioning and self-exploration.The opportunity to accelerate nursing research and integrate such findings into nursing practice holds the potential to improve patient outcomes and rapidly expand the database of nursing knowledge.Nurses are positioned to gain power and respect by their command and access to information.Newly defined, 'collaborative practice' will involve a community of electronically connected practitioners providing a richer and more scientific foundation for practice.Digital resources will be as valuable a clinical tool as the stethoscope. |
