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.
