Abstract

Leveling computer education for professional nurses at the undergraduate and graduate levels is presented via a four-tiered model. Foundational course content at level 2 for all graduate nursing students preparing for advanced nursing roles is described. A quasi-experimental study (N = 80) demonstrated the effectiveness of the course in terms of the attitude changes toward computerization and perceived knowledge about computer applications in nursing.
