Q: I am a nursing student in a large American city. We have a professional issues project and our topic is nursing informatics. We are presently looking for topics that could be presented to raise awareness about Nursing Informatics. Any pamphlets, extra information, tid-bits, perks would be greatly appreciated.
A. I offer a number of Powerpoints on nursing informatics in the Conference Presentations page of the main nursing-informatics.com site. As well, the Self Assessment area is free to use. Students can take the P.A.T.C.H. scale to test for cyberphobia. They can also assess their technical, utility, and leadership competencies in nursing informatics from this same web page.
As well, two free journals are available online: the OJNI: Online Journal of Nursing Informatics and the CJNI: Canadian Journal of Nursing Informatics. There are several articles in these journals that could prove useful to you in your project
You may also find my comprehensive exam on The Revealing of Nursing Informatics - Exploring the Field work interesting and useful as well.
It is available at:

In my Nursing Informatics 101 workshop, I encourage participants to explore how they can develop their knowledge skills in both the science and the art of Nursing Informatics.
As well, they explore how to assume a wide angle lens that encompasses all aspects of nursing informatics within their practice - whether in acute care, community care, e-health, telenursing, discharge planning, and so on. Leadership skills, research, and professional development are critical to lifelong learning in nursing informatics.
