Study - NurseONE and the College of Nursing, University of Saskatchewan partner to evaluate the use of ICT and the NurseONE portal by students enrolled in the Nursing Education Program of Saskatchewan at the Regina site.

The research team will evaluate the use of NurseONE over a period of three years for each selected group (2007-2011) as students transition into a beginning practitioner role and then into an expert role in their clinical practice. The influence of students on their preceptors’ use of technology will also be evaluated through the delivery of focus groups. The project will monitor the use of technology by students as they transition from student to practice roles.

Objectives - The College of Nursing, University of Saskatchewan faculty member will use NurseONE as one of the required resources for students enrolled in NEPS 417 in September 2007 and January 2008 course.

As such, the objectives of the study are to evaluate:
1. The appropriation or uptake of information from NurseONE and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the nursing students’ learning / practice;
2. The appropriateness of NurseONE and ICT in the beginning practitioners’ (former students) clinical practice;
3. The extent to which nursing students and beginning practitioners influence preceptors in the use of NurseONE and ICT; and
4. The potential for use of NurseONE and ICT in the academic and clinical setting.
