After completing my first semester in the nursing program, it has opened my eyes to all the different types of technology that are used on a day to day basis. I feel that technology is helping when it comes to overcoming communication barriers in health care. Technology is freeing up time that is normally spent filing paper work, and it is allowing more time to build therapeutic relationships. Also it allows communication between nurses and doctors that are very busy, or are just too distant to meet in person. Different thoughts and ideas can be shared with many hospitals all over Canada. So thus I strongly agree with the use of technology in hospitals and in the health care setting.

Hello, my name is Lindsie Hoppins and I am a first year nursing student at University of Ontario Institute of Technology. I am creating this blog in my comp tech course to learn and explore my options of communication that can be used in a nursing aspect. If feel that creating a blog is a good idea, as it familiarizes you with different types of communication and keeps you updated with current technology. Blogs let you show a sense of creativity and expression for both personal and work related topics. I hope to use this blogging technology in the future to promote my opinions and for class assignments in my nursing education.
