Virtual Communication in Nursing


Email has become a asset tool for communication in several hospitals. The use of email has enabled us to receive education information, and keep us in touch with all the programs available to us in the hospital. As employees we are able to log on to our network and communicate with anyone who has access. Being able to email our managers about specific problems not only saves us time, but saves them time to. To be able to have that open communication with our colleagues creates a safer and more respectful environment. Hospitals networks include information on our policies and procedures, educational information sessions with dates available for in class discussion, and even what is for lunch down in the cafeteria. If any policies of the hospital have changed they are able to email the changes to us, and then we can use safer practices. Nursing knowledge and skills change every day. I have found that email has increased my awareness and kept me informed with many of these changes which has made me a better nurse.

I think you made a very good point about the bennefits of having access to e-mail at work. I must agree with you, I use my e-mail at work as well and I find it helpful to communicate any concerns and/or questions I have before they ever become an issue!
